Transfer Students
If you have attended another college or university
after high school and registered for one or
more courses, we will consider you a transfer
student. Transfer students must submit an official
transcript of all previous college work attempted. Students who graduated from high school
after 1985 also must submit an official high
school transcript.

Probationary Transfer Admission
Students who have extraordinary circumstances
