| Unconditional Admission
of Transfer Students |
|
1. For Unconditional Admission, transfer students must have submitted
to the College an application for admission and official transcripts
from all regionally accredited postsecondary institutions attended
and any other documents required for first time college students.
2. Transfer students who attend another postsecondary institution
and who wish to earn credits for transfer to that parent institution
may be admitted to the College as transient students. Students must
submit an application for admission and an official letter from
the institution they have been attending which certifies that the
credits they earn at Southern Union State Community College will
be accepted as a part of their academic program. Such students are
not required to file transcripts of their previously earned credits
at other postsecondary institutions.

granting the baccalaureate degree.

Admission of Transfer Students |
|
Transfer students who do not have on file official transcripts
from all postsecondary institutions attended or any additional documents
required by the institution may be granted Conditional Admission.
No transfer student shall be allowed to enroll for a second semester
unless all required admissions records have been received by the
College prior to registration for the second semester.

If all required admissions records have
not been received by the College prior to issuance of first-semester
grades, the grades will be reported on the transcript, but the transcript
will read CONTINUED ENROLLMENT DENIED PENDING RECEIPT OF ADMISSIONS
RECORDS. This notation will be removed from the transcript only upon
receipt of all required admissions records. |

Academic Status of Transfer Students |

3. Applicants who have been academically
suspended from another regionally accredited postsecondary institution
may be admitted as transfer students only after following the appeal
process established at the institution for "native" students
who have been academically suspended. If the transfer student is admitted
upon appeal, the student will enter the institution on Academic
Probation. The transcript will read ADMITTED UPON APPEAL-ACADEMIC
PROBATION. |

| General
Principles for Transfer of Credit |
|
1. Courses completed at other regionally accredited postsecondary
institutions with a passing grade (D or higher, without being on
probation or suspension) will be accepted for transfer as potentially
creditable toward graduation requirements. Transfer students admitted
on academic probation will have only course grades of C or better
accepted for transfer.

2. Awarding of transfer credit to fulfill graduation requirements
will be based on applicability of the credits to the requirements
of the degree sought.
3. Credit may be extended based on a comprehensive evaluation of
demonstrated and documented competencies and previous formal training.
