First-year

First-year applicants should have completed high school (or the equivalency). Applicants who have attended another college or university but have not completed two or more semesters of full-time study (12 credits/semester) are considered first-year applicants.

Transfer

Transfer applicants must submit official transcripts from each college attended. Transfer applicants are not required to submit high school transcripts unless they have completed less than 30 college credits or if it is requested in order to more accurately assess the student's application.
