General policies follow.
Students who have earned less than 12 credits should apply as freshmen, although they must provide official transcripts from any college-level they have attended. Transfer credit will not be granted for remedial courses. Final authority regarding course work pertaining to major programs rests with individual departments subject to approval by Academic Affairs. Many departments require a grade point average higher than a 2.0 for admission to specific major or minor programs. For example, students planning on entering any major or minor program within SCSU's College of Business must have earned a 2.65 GPA or higher in all college work.
