An undergraduate applicant who previously has registered at any college or university since high school graduation must apply as a transfer student.
To meet Guaranteed Admissions requirements, transfer students must either:

- Meet the freshman guaranteed admission standards if they have earned less than 24 hours (or less than 35 quarter hours) AND have a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 or higher. OR
- Not have been enrolled in any post-secondary institution in the 12 months preceding the term for which they are applying. They will be eligible for admission with 24 or more earned semester hours but will be admitted on academic probation if their cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00.
Applicants who do not meet the standards above, but who wish to be considered for
