Admission of Transfer Students
 

All of the regulations applicable to students seeking admission as beginning freshmen are applicable to transfer students subject to the following interpretations:

A transfer student is one who has terminated enrollment at one institution and seeks admission to another. Students may not disregard their records at other institutions. Failure to report previous college attendance is considered to be sufficient cause for expulsion from this college and cancellation of any credits earned.

A transfer applicant must arrange for official transcripts of all previous college work to be sent to the Office of Admissions, which will determine the applicant’s qualifications for admission on the basis of these transcripts. Transfer students are normally acceptable for admission if they are eligible to continue at or to return to their sending institution.

An applicant, pursuing a pre-baccalaureate/transfer degree, who is transferring from an institution or program that did not require the College Preparatory Curriculum shall submit a transcript of secondary school credits unless the applicant has

• an associate degree
   

• has completed 30 semester credit hours of accepted transfer core curriculum credits with a minimum 2.0 GPA and has completed Learning Support and CPC deficiency requirements.

Applicants with more than 30 transferable semester hours must meet all of the prevailing Learning Support requirements (i.e., Learning Support and CPC deficiency make-up courses) applicable to freshmen at the sending institutions which are also applicable at ABAC prior to being granted admission at ABAC for freshman admission.

Students with fewer than 30 transferable semester credit hours must meet the freshman admission requirements. While deficiencies in science, social science, and foreign language should be satisfied during the student’s first semester of enrollment, students transferring from programs not requiring the College Preparatory Curriculum must satisfy these deficiencies before earning 20 hours of college level credit.

Transfer students admitted as Limited Admission students (including Presidential Exceptions) who have CPC deficiencies documented from another University System institution shall be required to satisfy those deficiencies by specific content area in the same manner as Limited Admission students in the Limited Admission area.

Students who have earned a career associate degree may apply for admission to a program leading to the baccalaureate degree. These students are required to meet the regular freshman admission requirements. They will not be held to CPC requirements. Students who have not completed a career degree or certificate may apply for admission to a program leading to the baccalaureate degree if they meet regular or limited admission requirements or show promise for academic success.
