In some cases, additional information might be requested.

Transferring with 24 or more transferable credits:
Students with 24 or more transferable credit hours and a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA are given serious consideration through the individual review process.

Transferring with fewer than 24 transferable credits:
Students with fewer than 24 transferable credit hours must have a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA and meet freshman aptitude requirements to be considered through individual review. See freshman admission requirements.
