Transfer Students
|
Whether you are looking to supplement your coursework at another school, or wanting to switch schools entirely, the Lake Campus welcomes transfer students. Students who have registered for 12 or more quarter hours at another college are considered transfer students.
To be considered for admission as a transfer student, students must submit the following:
- Undergraduate application
- $30 nonrefundable application fee
- Official transcript from each college previously attended
- High school transcript (required of the following students)
- High school graduates of 1986 or before who are transferring with fewer
than 12 quarter (nine semester) hours
- High school graduates of 1987 or after who are transferring with fewer
than 45 quarter (30 semester) hours
- College Preparatory Curriculum Completion Form (required of the following
students)
- High school graduates of 2000 or after who are transferring with fewer than
45 quarter (30 semester) hours. 1987 or after graduates with fewer than 45
hours must fulfill any high school deficiencies even though they do not need
to submit the college prep form.
All transfer students with at least a C average are eligible for admission to the university; admission to most colleges and schools requires a higher GPA. Students with less than a 2.0 GPA who have been out of college for more than five years do not have to petition to transfer to Wright State. However, those students with less than a 2.0 GPA who have attended college within the past five years must petition for admission. The petition forms are available in the Student Services Office and must be submitted along with the other applications materials outlined above. Students who have been dismissed from another institution will not be considered for admission to Wright State for one calendar year after their dismissal.
Students who have been granted "fresh start" or "academic bankruptcy" at another institution must have earned a minimum of 12 hours at the same institution before Wright State will recognize the recalculated GPA for admission purposes.
Transfer Credit Regulations
- Students' credits must have been earned at an institution that is regionally
accredited.
- Students must have earned a grade of C or higher (according to the definition
of grades currently used at Wright State). Grades of "pass" and "credit" are
considered for transfer credit. In compliance with the Ohio Transfer and Articulation
Policy, grades of D will be posted for students who have earned an Associate
of Arts or Associate of Science from an Ohio public institution.
- Any credit earned through correspondence study or as a part of an off-campus
study program are subject to the same regulations as other transfer credit.
- Students who have competed thre-forths or more of the Wright State quarterly
credit hour requirement for a course or sequence may receive credit for that
course or sequence. For example, two three-credit hour courses in English composition
may be considered the equivalent of ENG 101 and 102 (8 credit hours).
- Lake Campus academic advisors will determine how students' transfer credits
are to be used toward the requirements for their major. If there are exceptions
to the application of transfer credit, the dean of the major college or school
involved will make the decision.
- The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will notify students of their admission
to Adult and Transfer Services, University College's Academic Advising Center,
or the appropriate college.
- General education requirements for most transfer students will be determined
on a course-by-course evaluation.
- Students who have already received a baccalaureate degree from an accredited
institution (see Transfer Credit Regulation number 1) and wish to pursue a
second baccalaureate degree will automatically receive 138 quarter credit hours.
They will be ranked as seniors. An advisor will determine how many credits
these students will have to complete to receive their second degree.
- All religion courses taught by a religion department in any state college
or university will be considered for transfer credit. These courses are subject
to other applicable Transfer Credit Regulations. Religion courses taught by
all other colleges must be approved by the religion department before transfer
credit is granted.
- Transfer students with a minimum GPA of 3.4 or higher may be eligible
to graduate with Latin honors (summa cum laude, magna cum laude, or cum laude).
For the purpose of determining honors, the student's GPA at Wright State will
be recalculated to include all posted transfer grades; however this recalculated
GPA will not be reflected on the students academic record. The recalculated
GPA may result in the loss of honors status at graduation.
Transfer Appeals Process
A student disagreeing with the application of transfer credit has the right to appeal the decision. After receiving a statement of the application of transfer credit and contact information within the receiving college, the student will have 90 days from the date on the statement in which to consult the receiving college for clarification and to file an appeal through the Office of the Registrar. The appeal will be acted on by the petitions committee of the college or school in which the student is enrolled, then reviewed by the university-level Undergraduate Petitions Committee, which will send written notification of its decision to the student and the department.
A student wishing to challenge the decision of the Undergraduate Petitions Committee may appeal to the State Appeals Review Committee (SARC). Contact information is available at http://www.regents.state.oh.us/transfer/appeals.html. SARC may contact the Office of the Provost at Wright State for additional consultation. If a resolution is not reached, SARC will notify the student and Wright State University of the date of the hearing and request any additional information needed for the hearing.
The hearing will be held by the Articulation and Tranfer Appeals Review Committee (ATARC), which will then notify the student and Wright State of the advisory judgment. Wright State will consider the advisory judgment of ATARC and notify the student of the final disposition of that judgment.
