Transfer Admission Criteria

Applicants with 24 or more college-level credits (excluding remedial/developmental coursework) must have a minimum cumulative 2.0 QPA on a 4.0 scale for admission consideration. College-level coursework in-progress at the time of application will count toward the 24 college-level credits.

Applicants with fewer than 24 college-level credits completed at the time of the application (excluding remedial-developmental coursework) will be evaluated using a combination of college-level GPA/credits, high school/GED record, and SAT/ACT scores for admission consideration.

Although a 2.0 GPA is required for general admission consideration, the following “Special Admission Programs” have higher admission criteria:

  • Computer Science/Computer Security
  • Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management
  • Nursing
  • Recreation Services Management
  • Rehabilitative Services
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Sport Management
  • Teacher Education Certification

More information can be found at www.esu/transfer under “Admission to Special Programs.”

A combined GPA is calculated for applicants who have attempted credits at multiple institutions. Applicants must maintain a cumulative minimum GPA of a 2.00 on the final official college transcript. Applicants not offered admission to a “Special Admission Program” will have an opportunity to choose another major.
