Undergraduate Admissions
The minimum number of semester hours required for admission varies by program. Certain programs may have specific admissions requirements due to accreditation demands. Please refer to GPS program-specific sections of this Catalog for information. All semester hours earned in college-level courses must have been taken at a regionally accredited institution of higher learning in order for equivalent credit to be transferred. The following basic admissions requirements must also be met:
- submission of an official high school transcript and/or GED, unless there is a prior college transcript;
- a GPA of 2.00 or higher on a 4.00 scale for any education completed during the past 5 years with an official college transcript from all colleges/universities attended; (Applicants to the Associate of Arts in General Studies program may be enrolled without submission of official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended. However, in order for a student to remain enrolled in the program, all official transcripts must be submitted by no later than the end of the student’s second course. A minimum GPA of 2.00 for all prior coursework completed will also not apply to students admitted to the Associate of Arts in General Studies program.)
