There is no requirement for a minimum number of hours to transfer to South Carolina State. Students accepted for transfer with less than thirty semester hours will be assigned to the Department of Freshman Studies for advisement and registration. The University requires a GPA of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale for admission. Students with less than the required GPA are considered on a case by case basis and may be admitted as a special student for one semester if certain conditions are met. Every effort is made by the Office of Admissions and Recruitment to prepare evaluation forms for all admitted transfer applicants prior to orientation, exceptions occur for applicants not meeting admission deadlines and requirements.
Classification is determined by the number of hours approved for transfer credit.
This is called transient enrollment and comes under the authority of the Registrar s Office.

Every year South Carolina State University accepts many transfer students for the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters from colleges and universities all over the United States and many foreign countries. The University is committed to making the transition from the previous college attended to South Carolina State a smooth one.
