Applicants who have previously attended another regionally accredited or Council on Occupational Education accredited postsecondary institution will be considered transfer students and will be required to furnish official transcripts of all work attempted at all said institutions. Applicants who have been suspended from another institution for academic or disciplinary reasons will not be considered for admission except upon appeal to the Admissions Committee.
Unconditional Admission of Transfer Students
Students who have submitted to the College an application for admission and official transcripts from all duly accredited postsecondary institutions attended and their official high school transcript or GED shall be admitted as unconditional. Students with an associate degree or bachelor’s degree are not required to submit a high school transcript or GED.
Conditional Admission of Transfer Students
Students who have applied but not submitted all required documentation to the College shall be admitted as conditional status. No student will be allowed to enroll for a second semester unless all required admission documents have been received by the College prior to the start of the student’s second semester. Likewise, official Bishop State transcripts will not be released until all required admission documents have been received by the College.
Students who are conditionally admitted to the College are ineligible to receive federal financial aid benefits.Initial Academic Status of Transfer Students
Transfer students whose cumulative grade point average at the transfer institution(s) is 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale will be admitted on CLEAR academic status.
Transfer students whose cumulative grade point average at the transfer institution(s) is less than 2.0 on a 4.0 scale will be admitted only on Academic Probation. The transcript will read ADMITTED ON ACADEMIC PROBATION. Applicants who have been academically suspended from another regionally accredited postsecondary institution may be admitted as a transfer student only after following the appeals process established at the institution for “native” students who have been academically suspended. If the transfer student is admitted upon appeal, the student will enter the institution on Academic Probation. The transcript will read ADMITTED UPON APPEAL-ACADEMIC PROBATION.
