What is a transfer applicant?
Any student who has earned at least 12 semester hours of college credit following
graduation from high school is considered a transfer applicant.
Transfer applicants with fewer than 60 semester or 90 quarter hours of college work
are considered lower-level transfers. They must meet the first-time-in-college requirements
in accordance with Florida Board of Education Admission Rules, should have a minimum
2.0 grade point average in all college work, and be in good academic standing at the
last institution attended.
A transfer applicant with fewer than 60 semester or 90 quarter hours of college work
must meet all freshman and transfer requirements. They must submit:
• An application for admission.
• A non-refundable $25.00 application fee.
• Official high school transcript (Speede Code: 730000000148000).
• Official transcript from each college or university attended (current up to time
of application).
• Completers of high school by GED must provide an official copy of test scores (as
well as a partial high school transcript).
