college or university.

A transfer student whose cumulative
grade point average at the transfer
institution(s) is less than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale
will be admitted on Academic Probation.

An applicant who has been academically
suspended from a previously attended college or
university may be admitted only after
following the Admissions Appeal Process. If the
a transfer student is admitted upon appeal,
the student will enter the institution on
Academic Probation.

Understanding Your Admissions Status:

  1. Conditional Acceptance: Students who have not submitted all required documentation will be admitted as conditional status. Failure to provide documentation by the end of the first semester will prevent a student from future registration and official transcript release. Required admissions documents can be viewed by logging back into your admissions application portal. 
     
  2. Unconditional Acceptance:  Students who have submitted all required documentation will be admitted unconditionally.
