Transfer Students
A
transfer student, who has attended any post-secondary institution, must have an
official transcript sent from all previous institutions to the Admissions
Office. Transfer students are not officially enrolled until all college
transcripts have been received and evaluated. Transfer credits will be
accepted from colleges and universities starting from the year they are
accredited or hold candidacy status with the North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools, Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, New
England Association of Colleges and Schools, Northwest Association of Colleges
and Schools, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Western Association
of Colleges and Schools, or other institutions approved by the Admissions
Department. All transfer credit will be equated on the semester-hour system. All
courses listed with an F grade or higher will be transferred and calculated into
the student's cumulative grade point average.
Students on academic probation at their former colleges or with transfer
cumulative grade point averages below 1.5 will be admitted on probation to GCCC.
Students on academic dismissal at the last college of attendance must petition
for a hearing before the Academic Review Committee before they may be admitted
to GCCC. If admitted by the committee, they will be placed on probationary
status until their grade point average meets regular college standards as
outlined in the Academic Probation/Dismissal section of the GCCC catalog.
Note: It is the responsibility of the transferring
student to inform the Admissions Office if he/she has previously been
academically dismissed at any former college. Failure to do so or falsification
of information requested by the college may result in immediate dismissal from
Garden City Community College at the time the college becomes aware of the
deception.
