OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS Transfer/Readmit Major Admission Guide Summer-Fall 2013 and Spring 2014

Using this guide

Please note: this guide is for informational and planning purposes only. It may not be possible to offer admission to all qualied applicants because of a competitive applicant pool and space limitations. The average admitted prole column indicates the typical range of students who were admitted to the major, sequence, or program during the last application cycle. The range is intended to give applicants a better indication of the quality of students recently admitted.

Admission decisions

The average grade point average for transfer students admitted for the Fall 2012 was 3.1 on a 4.0 scale. Transfer students may be admitted to the University with an undeclared major if program prerequisites are not met or if the preferred major has lled to capacity. Students with 75 or more earned credit hours cannot be admitted to the University as undeclared students.

Planning your coursework
