The Admissions Review Committee at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø strives for transparency in our application review process. ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø reviews completed transfer student applications holistically. We defineÌýholistic admissionÌýas examining the entire student application file, the whole person and the context of the student’s environment. Academic accomplishment is clearly the dominating factor when evaluating students and making admissions decisions. However, there are many relevant criteria that may outweigh certain academic factors when ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø decides to accept a student. We are particularly interested in student character, leadership, community service and willingness to help others. The following provides examples that will demonstrate what we look for with respect to a student’s academic potential and strength of character, the two main areas of review during our evaluation process:
Ìý

Academic Review:

• Quality of grades in college and high school
• Quality of grades related to prospective major (e.g., chemistry grades for a forensic science major, etc.)
• Strength and performance of college coursework completed (e.g., quantitative coursework, coursework with intensive writing, etc.)Ìý

Character Review:

• Empathy and kindness toward others (e.g., community service, taking care of family in need, etc.)
• Extracurricular activity and accomplishment (e.g., orchestra, band, theatre, honors societies, Girl/Boy Scouts, club involvement, athletics, performing arts, etc.)
• Independence (e.g., overnight travel, camps, after-school or summer employment, student-initiated communication with the University versus parents communicating, etc.)
• Leadership (e.g., president, treasurer, captain/co-captain, MVP, first-chair instrumental, teacher’s assistant, etc.)

The University admits transfer students on a rolling admissions basis allowing application submissions throughout the year, but students are encouraged to apply early.
Ìý

For admission and scholarship purposes, ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø calculates transfer GPAÌýfor all courses attempted at all universities attended. This cumulative GPA will not appear on a student’s ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø transcript. Once enrolled, only grades received at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø are used to calculate a GPA (exceptions include the cumulative GPA for nursing program admissions).Ìý
Ìý

Students transferring with an Associate of Arts degree from a Florida public community college or one of the community colleges with which ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø has an articulation agreement may be accepted with junior standing (minimum 60 credit hours).
Ìý

ÌÒñ«ÉçÇøampa is test optional. We do not require test scores for admission to the University as a transfer student.

A maximum of 64 credits may be transferred from regionally accredited two-year or community colleges. Students transferring from regionally accredited four-year institutions may transfer any number of credits. All transfer students must complete the last 31 credit hours in residency at ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø. Credit is transferred only for those courses completed with grades of "C" or better. Admitted students receive an official transfer credit evaluation as soon as possible after submitting a deposit.
Ìý

*Please note that if a student has attended several two-year colleges, 64 credits maximum can transfer in from all community colleges combined.
Ìý

You can find a list of courses that ÌÒñ«ÉçÇø has previously evaluated on ourÌýtransfer credit page. If a class is not listed, it typically means that we have not previously evaluated that course. We will evaluate it for you upon acceptance as long as it was passed with a "C" or higher from a regionally accredited institution as part of our official transfer credit evaluation.

Scholarships
