Fall entry, November 1 for spring
Complete an associate degree with the general education block and the block transfers whole. Guaranteed review and tuition credit toward the first year.
One full year of college coursework required before applying. High school transcript and test scores still get read for applicants with under two semesters completed.
The state articulation agreement. Associate degree holders from a public institution enter with junior standing and a locked in general education equivalency.
Coursework taken as a visiting student converts to degree credit on admission, capped at 16 credits per semester of enrollment.
Course by course credential evaluation required, plus English proficiency if prior instruction was not in English. Visa status transfers with an updated I-20.
Readmission rather than transfer. Prior credit stays on the record and the original catalog year requirements usually still apply.
