REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER APPLICANTS

An applicant who has attempted 12 or more semester hours at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution is considered a transfer applicant. The Admissions Staff will evaluate transfer credit and core credit. Equivalencies are judged in the context of the core curriculum previous to the one currently in place. Requests for core credit based on a course meeting the "spirit" of the core will be referred to the chair of the commission for approval. TRANSFER CANDIDATES MUST SUBMIT: A. An application for admission. B. An official copy of all college transcripts from each post-secondary institution previously attended. An applicant who fails to indicate attendance at a previous institution at the time of application may forfeit eligibility for transfer credit. C. An applicant must have earned at "C" average (2.0 quality point average for all work attempted) for all work attempted and be in good academic standing at the previously attended institution to be considered for regular admission. The status of any applicant admitted before all final, official transcripts are received will be reevaluated upon receipt of the final transcript. Transfer applicants are urged to apply well in advance of the opening date of the term in which they plan to enter. This will enable the student to receive a timely evaluation of their transfer credit and appropriate academic advisement and program planning. Students are required to complete their last thirty semester hours at the University of Bridgeport and meet course requirements as described in each program to be eligible for a degree. A maximum of 66 credits may be awarded from two-year colleges and 90 credits from accredited four-year institutions. Transfer credit is awarded on a course by course basis.
