Admissions Requirements for Transfer Students

To be admitted "unconditionally" as a transfer student the student must complete all of the requirements for either the degree or non-degree students.

Students in good standing from accredited institutions are welcomed as transfer students. Transfer students from junior colleges or community colleges may have up to one-half of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree accepted, except where an associate degree has been completed, in which case all work required for the degree will be accepted if it applies to the program of study at Oakland City University.

Students transferring to Oakland City University with a minimum overall cumulative average of 2.0 (on a scale of 4.0) may transfer all college level work with at least a "C" grade and may transfer a maximum of six semester hours of passing but below "C" work. Students with transfer credit from more than one university must have a 2.0 average from each university where passing credit but below "C" average work is transferred. at no time will the maximum amount of passing credit below "C" be more than six semester hours even if it is from one university or from multi-universities. Further, a maximum of two-thirds of the credit-hour requirement for a major or minor will be accepted by transfer. Students transferring to Oakland City University with lower than 2.0 average will have accepted only those credits in which a "C: or better was earned. The Office of Academic Affairs is responsible for equating quarter hours to semester hours used at the UNiversity.

Transfers from accredited junior colleges may have up to one half of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree accepted (or the equivalent of 64 hours), except where an associate degree has been completed, in which case all the work required for the degree will be accepted if it fits a planned program at the University.
