Minimum transfer applicant requirements for at least thirty hours of college-level coursework are:
- 2.6 cumulative GPA for South Carolina residents
- 3.0 cumulative GPA for out-of-state residents.
If you have earned less than 30 (45 quarter) semester hours at the time you submit your application you must also submit a secondary school transcript and the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT) results and must also meet freshman admission standards.
Transfer applications are reviewed on a rolling admissions cycle. When we reach maximum enrollment for new students, applications may be returned with suggestions that the student apply for a future semester. We may hold a student's application until completion of current coursework to make an admission decision. These students are not guaranteed admission and a decision will only be rendered when final transcripts are received. All applicants must be qualified to return to the college last attended.
