What should I do if I was denied as a freshman applicant?

We advise you to attend another regionally accredited institution and earn at least 30 credit hours at a cumulative GPA of 2.60 or higher, though meeting this standard does not guarantee admission.

If you wait to reapply until after you have completed 30 transferable semester hours or 45 transferable quarter hours, your high school record will not be included in the review of your new application.

What should I do if I was denied as a transfer applicant?

Continue attending your current school and retake any courses with low grades in order to raise your transfer GPA.

• Please note that we do not honor academic renewal at other institutions.

Earn an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

• If you have done so, the admissions GPA requirement is 2.35 or above.
