To determine transfer eligibility, the following regulations apply:
- Transfer students must be eligible to return to the institution they last attended.
- Transfer students who have attempted 1-14 semester hours must meet the admission standards for freshman. If they have a cumulative grade point average of less than 1.0 (on a 4.0 scale), their admission is subject to approval of the director of admissions.
- Transfer students who have attempted 15-29 semester hours must have a cumulative GPA of 1.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) to be considered for admission.
- Transfer students who have attempted 30 or more semester hours must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) to be considered for admission.
- Transfer Students must provide transcripts indicating the courses equivalent to Composition I and College Algebra have been successfully completed with grades of C or higher or submit ACT, SAT, Compass, or ASSET scores for placement purposes.
- Transfer students who are 25 years of age or older are admitted regardless of ACT, SAT, or ASSET scores, but if they have not completed Comp I and College Algebra, they must submit ACT, SAT, Compass, or ASSET scores for placement.
- The hours earned at an accredited institution will be posted to the SAU transcript, but the GPA earned at those institutions will not be used to calculate the cumulative GPA.
- Only courses with grades of C or higher will transfer.
