ADMISSIONS
Transfer Students
At the time of application, students who have attempted college level credit at an accredited institution after high school graduation are considered transfer students. Applicants must be eligible to enroll at all colleges and universities previously attended and submit final official transcripts from each college or university attended. For students who have previously attended Tarleton State University, transfer work and Tarleton work will be combined to determine a cumulative GPA. Transferable work from all previously attended colleges and universities will be combined to determine a cumulative GPA. Developmental and similar non-college credit are not used in determining the GPA needed to be eligible for transfer admission.
Transfer Student Qualifications
The following minimum standards must be met:
- Students with 12 to 29 semester hours of college credit and a cumulative
GPA of 2.8 or higher will be admitted. A cumulative GPA of 2.00 - 2.79 is acceptable, provided they also meet one of the regular admission standards for first-time freshman applicants*. - Students with 30 or more semester hours of college credit and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher will be admitted.
- Students with 11 or fewer semester hours of college level credit and a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher who meet one of the regular admission standards for first-time freshman applicants* will be admitted.
* Please see the Admission Requirements for First-Time Freshman area in this section of the catalog.
Core Curriculum Transfer
Students who complete all general education requirements as approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board at another school and who then transfer to Tarleton State University will generally be considered to have met general education requirements as outlined toward a degree at Tarleton. However, additional requirements for the degree must be met and this could require students to take one or more courses that are part of the general education requirements at Tarleton.
