Transfer Students:

A transfer student will have his/her academic status evaluated based on the number of accepted credit hours that are transferred from the institution(s) he/she previously attended. A student transferring from another college must submit to the Office of Admissions:

• A completed application for admissions
• Non refundable $25.00 administrative fee
• A transfer approval form from the last institution attended. Form is available online.
• Official college transcripts from all colleges attended. If the student has attended more than one college or university, official transcripts from each institution previously attended must be received before an admission decision can be made on the application.
• If transferring less than 24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours, students will be required to meet all freshmen requirements for admissions.

All entrance materials should be received at least thirty days before the beginning of the semester in which the applicant desires to enroll. The Office of Admissions makes the initial evaluation of courses taken at other institutions. All courses with grades "C" or better will be transferred to the college and grades of less than "C" are not given consideration. Additionally, credit hours but not quality points are transferable. Coursework taken at another institution will be evaluated by the head of the department to determine if the work is applicable toward fulfillment of graduation requirements in the student's major. A recommendation will be submitted to the Dean of Academic Affairs and the Registrar for consideration of approval. To complete his/her academic program, a transfer student is expected to conform to the academic requirements of Saint Augustine's College that are current at the time of his/her enrollment at the College. The general requirements listed in the catalog must be met and the final 30 semester credit hours must be earned at Saint Augustine's College or in residence (CRC).
