All others: Have at least a 2.0 GPA and must have satisfied all Learning Support
requirements.

Applicants who do not meet the transfer requirements for regular admission and who present unusual and extenuating circumstances should set up an interview with an admissions representative after the application process is complete. The Admissions Appeal Board will review the appeal for consideration for admission before any final action is taken. In addition, the transfer applicant whose only attendance has been at a regionally accredited technical college in a "Non-College Transfer Program" is considered a freshman applicant and must satisfy freshman admission requirement.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit. An evaluation of accepted transferable credits is made by the Office of the Registrar. A complete transfer evaluation report will be mailed to the student once he or she is accepted by the university and all official transcripts have been received from each college previously attended. The basic policy regarding the acceptance of courses by transfer is to allow credit for courses completed with satisfactory grades in other accredited colleges provided the courses correspond in content to courses offered at Augusta State University. Additional validation will be required for courses taken at another institution that were previously completed with a penalty grade at Augusta State University. In addition, credit earned at accredited technical colleges may not transfer unless the credit was earned in a designated college transfer program.

Transient Student Admissions Requirements

A transient student is a degree candidate at another institution who is granted the privilege of temporary registration at Augusta State University. To apply for admission as a transient student you must:

1. File a completed application form.
2. Submit a letter of permission confirming good standing from the registrar of the
college in which you are enrolled or matriculated. In addition, submit an official transcript
from your home institution. You can be admitted to Augusta State University as a
transient student only if you are currently eligible for re-admission to your home institution.
3. If you wish to enroll in courses for which prerequisites are required, you must, prior to
registration, give the department chair transcript(s) showing successful completion of
required prerequisite courses. This requirement may be waived only by the permission of
the department chair.

As a transient student you will be required to adhere to the same academic standards that govern regularly enrolled students. You may renew your status for additional enrollment periods for a maximum of two semesters per calendar year and for a maximum of three consecutive semesters, by submitting written approval from your home institution and notifying the Augusta State University Admissions Office at least 30 days prior to the scheduled registration for the next enrollment period.
