Admissions Requirements for Transfer Students

Definition of a Transfer Student

Transfer students are students who have graduated from High School and have taken 30 or more credits at a post-secondary institution.  High School students who have completed post-secondary coursework before their high school graduation are considered freshmen students not transfers.
