Undergraduate
Admissions
Admission
to the University is based on evidence of high school graduation or the equivalent,
quality of high school program, record of achievement, and desirable personal
characteristics without regard to age, sex, race, color, creed, disability,
marital status, or national origin. The University welcomes inquiries from qualified
high school students, students interested in transferring from another college
or university, and adults who wish to begin or resume their undergraduate program.
Students
who wish to obtain additional information about the University or the admission
processes and policies described below should call 518-442-5435 or write the
Undergraduate Admissions Office, Administration Building, Room 101, University
at Albany, State University of New York, 1400 Washington Avenue, Albany, New
York 12222 or e-mail at [email protected].
Group
information sessions and tours are available 7 days a week when classes are
in session. Please call (or e-mail) the Admissions Office to make arrangements.
Interviews:
A personal interview is not required as part of the admissions process. In exceptional
cases, those for whom the interview is required will be notified by letter.
Application
Procedure: Admission to most programs is granted for the fall, spring, and summer
terms. Application materials are available in the fall preceding any of these
admission dates and can be received by contacting the Admissions Office.
Application
forms are also available in all New York State high schools and State University
of New York two- and four-year colleges. Candidates may also apply on-line at
www.albany.edu/admissions/undergraduate/applying. The University at Albany's
application is a two-part process. Once a candidate submits a completed Part
I the Admissions office will send a supplemental form (Part II) to be completed
by the applicant. The Part II requests subjective information and an essay that
provides the admissions committee with additional information about the candidate.
Freshman
Admission
The
undergraduate program is designed for students with well-defined interests or
career objectives, as well as for those who wish to explore a variety of fields
before deciding on a major. All accepted students are admitted to the University
and are enrolled in an open major, (undeclared), or they can declare an intended
major.
Academic
Preparation and Achievement
High
School Preparation:
Candidates
for admission to all undergraduate programs must present
a minimum of 18 units from high school, acceptable to the University, in a college
preparatory program. Within that background, freshman applicants are generally
expected to demonstrate the following to be competitive for admission: four
units of English or the equivalent; completion of the Course B curriculum in
Math (for students graduating from New York State high schools) or the equivalent
(for students from high schools in other states or nations); at least two units
of laboratory science; three units of social science, including one of U.S.
History; at least one year of foreign language; two years or more of foreign
language is strongly recommended. In addition students should show electives
that offer enrichment (e.g., fine or performing arts) or advanced study in a
particular discipline.
Admission
Decision: The decision on an application for admission will be based on
a holistic review of the following:
High
School Record Since academic performance in high school is considered to
be the best predictor of academic success, the high school record will be examined
in light of one’s overall high school average as reported by the secondary
school, courses taken, end-of-course Regents Examination grades and average
(for New York State residents), and rank in class. Acceptance is granted upon
satisfactory completion of three years of high school. An acceptance is conditional
upon continued success in the fourth year, proof of graduation, and the submission
of a complete and satisfactory medical form to the Student Health Service.
Standardized
Test Scores In addition to an evaluation of an applicant's high school record,
the University also uses the SAT or ACT standardized test results. (Special
tests are available for handicapped applicants. Also, Albany has alternate admissions
criteria for handicapped applicants who are unable to take the required tests.)
All students graduating from high school in 2006 and thereafter are required
to submit the results of a national writing component as part of their standardized
tests.
Standardized
Test Policy: In all categories of admission, standardized test scores are considered
as merely one of several academic variables used in the decision making process.
Standardized test scores are used in concert with high school average, the quality
of the academic program, and the student's rank in class.
The
University at Albany will continue to use the highest critical reading (formerly
verbal) and mathematics score from the SAT to insure that these scores, in most
cases, will benefit the applicant in the admissions process. In order to fully
understand the appropriate use of the new writing component requirement in the
evaluation process, the scores will not be used initially in the evaluation
of applicants.
The
University realizes that standardized test scores represent the results of a
test battery taken on a single day, while the high school record of an applicant
represents academic commitment and achievement over a period of three years.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is aware of this difference and incorporates
it into the decision making process. Questions about the use of standardized
tests at the University may be directed to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions
at 518-442-5435.
The
University generally receives these scores on computer tapes directly from the
exam sponsors, and matches them to other application data. Each applicant is
encouraged, therefore, to have the results released to us by the exam sponsors.
These are to be received in the admissions office generally by mid February.
Ability
to Contribute to the University Community The University at Albany believes
that a student body that represents diverse geographic, cultural, racial/ethnic,
and socioeconomic backgrounds creates an educational environment that benefits
all students. Therefore, in evaluating applicants, the University may also consider
non-academic characteristics including involvement in school or community; leadership
potential; community service; a student’s ability to contribute to a diverse
educational environment as evidenced by his/her geographic, cultural, racial/ethnic,
or socioeconomic background; special talents; work experience; and information
about the applicant’s ability to overcome obstacles, hardship, disabilities,
etc.
Recommendations
of the applicant's counselor, teacher, and/or employer are welcome, but
generally are not required. However, counselor comments that will assist the
Admissions Office in its review of the academic credentials should, of course,
be submitted.
Note:
A decision as to admissibility cannot be made until all required materials are
submitted. Although it is the responsibility of the applicant to see that all
required credentials are submitted on time, the Admissions Office will send
periodic reminders concerning missing credentials.
Non-Binding
Early Action Policy:
The
University at Albany no longer offers the traditional Early Decision program,
but rather a much more equitable early notification option referred to as the
non-binding Early Action program.
The
University at Albany's non-binding Early Action option allows students to apply
to as many institutions as they wish and students admitted under this program
need not finalize their enrollment decision until May 1st. The non-binding
Early Action program has an application deadline of November 15th and candidates
meeting this deadline may expect an admission decision before the first of the
year.
Candidates
who wish to receive an early notification from the University at Albany must
submit a completed application along with their $40.00 fee to the Application
Services Center and indicate on the application their intent to participate
in the Early Action program at Albany. They must submit an official high school
transcript and their SAT or ACT test scores. Further, it is recommended they
complete and return to the Admissions Office the Part II- Supplemental Form
as soon as possible.
This
new option allows students to hear from all the schools to which they apply
as well as receive their financial aid notices before having to make a decision
on which institution to select for their undergraduate program.
The
University Scholars Programs:
The
University Scholars Programs, including Presidential Scholars, Frederick Douglass
Scholars (for underrepresented minority groups), and College Scholars, are designed
to recognize and nurture outstanding students and offer participants the chance
to study with other highly qualified high achieving undergraduates. Scholars
are eligible for merit scholarships and honors housing.
To
be considered for these programs, students must first apply for admission to
the University at Albany. Students with the strongest academic credentials are
then invited to participate in the University Scholars Programs. Invitations
are based on the applicants’ high school performances and combined SAT
scores. For further information regarding the program, contact the Director
of Undergraduate Admissions at 518-442-5435.
Presidential
Scholars Program:
The
Presidential Scholars Program is designed to recognize and nurture outstanding
students; it offers participants the chance to study with other highly qualified
undergraduates.
To
be considered for the program, students must first apply for admission to the
University at Albany. Students with the strongest academic credentials are then
invited to participate in the Presidential Scholars program. Invitations are
based on the applicants’ high school performance and combined SAT scores.
For further information regarding the program, contact the Director of Undergraduate
Admissions at 518-442-5435 or 1-800-293-7869.
Frederick
Douglass Scholars Program:
The
Frederick Douglass Scholars Program is designed to provide direct aid funding
for undergraduate students who have demonstrated high academic achievement and
are from underrepresented minority groups.
The
program is limited to undergraduates who are members of historically underrepresented
minorities (African American/Black, Hispanic, Native American, or Alaskan American)
including permanent resident aliens, enrolled in a degree program who have demonstrated
high academic achievement.
For
further information, contact the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, LC 30 (518-442-3950).
Educational
Opportunities Program (EOP):
Freshman
and transfer applicants judged to have high capabilities and motivation for
college study, yet whose financial, cultural, and social backgrounds have not
allowed them to compete effectively for regular admission to the University,
may be admitted into the EOP program. All students must have earned a high school
diploma or its equivalent. Admission to the program is based on high school
performance, recommendations, and a formal assessment of financial eligibility
according to legislated guidelines.
Support
services available to accepted EOP students include developmental courses in
the basic skills areas, such as reading, study skills, English, mathematics,
and developmental science; academic and personal counseling; tutoring; and financial
assistance. Students carry a full load of regular and/or basic skill courses
and are considered full-time University students.
The
application procedure should begin as early as possible so that academic and
financial evaluations, recommendations, and other arrangements can be completed
well before the student wishes to begin study. Transfers are eligible for EOP
admission only if they have been enrolled previously in an EOP, HEOP, College
Discovery, SEEK, or EOP-type program elsewhere and meet all other transfer requirements.
Early
Admission (Admission Prior to High School Graduation)
The
University is willing to enroll a limited number of early admission students.
The guidelines for admission require the following:
Each
applicant will be required to present a minimum of 18 units of high school course
work acceptable to the University, including laboratory science, mathematics,
and foreign language study. It is expected that these students will have pursued
both an enriched and accelerated secondary school program and will present courses
in keeping with their expressed goals in the college program.
Each
applicant must have achieved at an outstanding level, generally considered to
be in the area of a 90 percent or better high school average, with a corresponding
rank in class within the top 10 percent. Those applicants who do not meet these
qualitative guidelines must present convincing evidence that they possess a
special talent and/or extraordinary ability in their chosen field of study.
Each
applicant must present standardized admissions test results at or above the
90th percentile.
The
high school guidance counselor must support the applicant’s request for
“early admission” and must certify to the school’s willingness
to grant the high school diploma upon successful completion of the freshman
year. Courses necessary for fulfilling high school graduation requirements must
be so designated by that counselor, and the student must agree to pursue such
course work during the freshman year.
Transfer
Admission
A
sizable number of undergraduates transfer into the University from other colleges
and universities each year. The University welcomes applications from all students
who are completing work at other two- and four-year colleges.
Academic
Preparation and Achievement To be favorably considered one should have at
least an overall C+ (2.5) average for all college work attempted. The cumulative
average necessary for admission will vary, depending on the program and the
quantitative background of the applicant. Admission to certain programs (majors)
is competitive and is based not only on a required grade point average (GPA)
but also on completion of a certain set of prerequisite core courses. The required
GPA varies from year to year but generally a B is required for applicants to
the accounting, business administration, criminal justice, and social welfare
programs. GPAs are computed using grades earned in all courses attempted. Applicants
who lack in the high school program described in the section entitled “High
School Preparation” may present an academic experience as a transfer student
that is comparable in its totality, demonstrating breadth and achievement and
the potential to compete successfully at the University at Albany.
Students
enrolled in EOP or EOP-type programs at other colleges are encouraged to apply
for transfer admission to our EOP program.
In
addition to submitting the basic application and supplement form, transfer applicants
must also submit official transcripts of all work taken at any college or university
since high school graduation, whether or not they expect to receive transfer
credit. Where only one transcript is offered, such a transcript should include
at least one year’s grades. Transfers may be admitted also on the basis
of one semester of college course work, provided their high school preparation
meets the quantitative and qualitative requirements for freshman admission.
The transfer applicant is not expected to take an admissions examination. A
decision as to admissibility cannot be made until the previously noted items
are received. If there are gaps in an applicant’s educational sequence,
the applicant will be asked to provide a brief list of activities during that
period.
Ability
to Contribute to the University Community The University at Albany believes
that a student body that represents diverse geographic, cultural, racial/ethnic,
and socioeconomic backgrounds creates an educational environment that benefits
all students. Therefore, in evaluating applicants, the University may also consider
non-academic characteristics including involvement in school or community; leadership
potential; community service; a student's ability to contribute to a diverse
educational environment as evidenced by his/her geographic, cultural, racial/ethnic,
or socioeconomic background; special talents; work experience; and information
about the applicant's ability to overcome obstacles, hardship, disabilities,
etc.
An
estimate of the total number of credits accepted for transfer will be made when
admission is granted. When the student registers for the first time, he or she
will be provided with a tentative evaluation of course credits. The tentative
evaluation is subject to final approval and modification following the initial
advisement and programming session. Transfer students are strongly urged to
take advantage of the Planning Conference where a review of the evaluation of
course work is offered.
Transfer
Grades: Courses are accepted for transfer credit provided that a grade of C-
or higher has been achieved.
a)
For students who matriculated before Fall 2000, credit earned with a
grade of D or the lowest passing grade will transfer only if such credit
is balanced by a B or A at the same institution. D grades
earned in courses within the major/minor must be balanced by grades of B
or A earned within the major/minor at the same institution.
b)
For students who matriculated Fall 2000 through Summer 2001, prematriculation
credit earned with a grade of D or the lowest passing grade will transfer
only if such credit is balanced by a B or A at the same institution.
D grades earned in courses within the major/minor must be balanced by
grades of B or A earned within the major/minor at the same institution.
Postmatriculation credit graded D will not transfer.*
c)
For students who matriculate Fall 2001 and thereafter, no credit graded
D from another institution will transfer.*
*
Except for the University’s writing requirements, for which a grade of
C or higher or S is required, transfer work graded D+,
D or D- in a course that applies to one or more of the University’s
General Education requirements may be applied toward fulfilling the requirements,
even if the student receives no graduation credit for the course.
All
transfer applicants are strongly encouraged to indicate the major they plan
to pursue once admitted to the University. Since Albany students, with few exceptions,
are required to declare a major by the time they have accumulated 42 graduation
credits, and may declare a major after accumulating 24 graduation credits, incoming
transfer students with 24 or more credits are usually assigned to major departmental
advisers for their initial programming. The prospective transfer student should
consult the section of this bulletin entitled “Declaration of Major”
for a list of those majors that have specific restrictions, and then consult
the departmental description of the admission requirements for that program.
The
transfer student's designated class standing (class year) is determined by the
number of credits accepted for transfer (see the “Class Standing”
section of this bulletin). However, for many majors (combined major/minors in
the sciences, for example) overall class standing should not be construed to
mean that the student is necessarily on schedule within the major/minor sequence.
This is especially true for students who transfer to the University from technical
and applied programs, or for those who change major interest and/or career goals
at the time of transfer.
The
prospective transfer student should examine closely those sections of this bulletin
that deal with minor requirements, residence requirements, the General Education
Requirements and with the Writing Requirement. These are graduation requirements
in addition to those stipulated by the major.
For
the B.A. and B.S. degrees, the maximum number of transfer credits from a two-year
college, a four-year college, or from a combination of two-and four-year schools
are 90.
Transfer Articulation Agreements
The
University at Albany has transfer articulation agreements with a number of New
York State community colleges. Those articulated programs provide the best possible
vehicle for transferring to the University because they were designed to provide
transfer students with a course-specific four-semester outline of courses, which
not only best prepares them for study on this campus, but also serves to maximize
their transferable credits. Students attending the community colleges where
these agreements exist should make early contact with their Transfer Counseling
Office for information and guidance.
Please
note that the University offers prospective students the opportunity for joint
admissions with several SUNY community colleges. Please see section on Joint
Admissions.
JOINT
ADMISSIONS
Under
the Joint Admissions Program, students are admitted to the SUNY community college
and acknowledged by the University as first year matriculants, with conditional
acceptance to the University after completion of their Associate’s in
Arts or Associate’s in Science degree. Students are assured that if they
achieve the stipulated academic proficiency and distribution requirements as
detailed in the Transfer Guide of the student’s first institution, it
will be possible to complete their baccalaureate degree at the University at
Albany in four additional semesters (or equivalent for part-time students).
Candidates selected for the program will receive a letter of acknowledgement
from the Director of Admissions at the University at Albany. Students accepted
through the Joint Admissions Program should work closely with a transfer counselor
at their community college. The students in the Joint Admissions Program are
expected to enroll at the University at Albany in the semester following completion
of the associate degree. Students must confirm their intent to enroll at the
University by submitting a Joint Admissions Supplemental Application and official
transcript to the transfer counselor at their community college early in the
semester immediately prior to transfer to the University at Albany. Students
who enroll at a third institution lose their automatic transfer and must have
their total academic record reviewed for transfer consideration.
Requirements
for the bachelor's degree will be those in effect at the time the student transfers
to the University.
Second
Bachelor's Degree:
The
University encourages students who have already earned a bachelor's degree and/or
an advanced degree to pursue graduate studies in virtually all instances. Occasionally,
when reasons can be demonstrated as to why a second bachelor's degree is preferred
and educationally sound, individuals could be admitted as matriculated students
to an undergraduate program. In these limited cases, such requests will be reviewed
by the Admissions Office in accordance with regulations of the Undergraduate
Policy Manual.
Students
who have been approved to obtain a second bachelor's degree from the University
at Albany must be admitted as a matriculated student by the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions and must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours as a matriculated
student in residence at the University at Albany.
Admission
as a Nonmatriculated Student
The
University at Albany may enroll individuals who are not seeking admission into
an undergraduate degree program as nonmatriculated. The minimum requirement
for non-degree admission is a high school diploma. Visiting students from other
colleges as well as high school seniors may also apply for non-degree study.
All admissions falling within this category are on a term-by-term basis. Please
refer to the Office of General Studies section of this Bulletin
for details.
| College
and University Students: see next section, Office of General Studies. |
Admission
of International Students
The
University at Albany seeks to enroll international students with the academic
and personal background to benefit from and contribute to its academic and co-curricular
programs. Admission of undergraduate international students is available for
all academic terms. Applicants will be required to provide evidence of academic
preparation at a level comparable to domestic applicants and proof of English
language competency (for students whose native language is other than English.)
Students
who desire admission to the undergraduate programs and are citizens of other
countries should begin the application procedure as early as possible so that
all necessary arrangements can be completed before the term begins. Contact
the Admissions Office to receive the special application materials required
for those applying as international students.
Candidates
must demonstrate successful completion of high school in the United States or
the equivalent in the native country of the applicant. Academic preparation
must include the equivalent of the core academic subjects described in the section
entitled “High School Preparation”. SAT or ACT exams will be required
of graduates of U.S. high schools.
Students
whose native language is other than English are required to submit proof of
English language competency through submission of the scores of the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Exam administered by the Educational Testing
Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540.
Early
in the preparation for admission, a careful investigation of the financial requirements
should be made with the Admissions Office. All undergraduate international applicants
must provide documentation demonstrating the ability to support themselves financially.
Required amounts of support will be determined by the University each year,
and students must provide original financial documents from a financial institution.
Satisfaction of the financial requirement will allow for an I-20 to be issued
to the student.
It
may be necessary to rescind an acceptance if the University finds that a student
is no longer financially independent to the extent certified on the formal application.
Medical Record
After
acceptance and prior to registration, each candidate will be required to file
with the Student Health Service a complete and satisfactory medical record.
Credit by Examination
Students
may be granted advanced placement and/or credit at any time that they can demonstrate
the requisite proficiency. The programs described here represent a variety of
opportunities for receiving credit for college courses by examination prior
to or while enrolled at the University. Some of the testing programs offer examinations
in the same or similar academic areas. Duplicating examinations, like duplicating
courses, should be avoided. Credit for a course by examination will be awarded
only once, regardless of how many different exams for the same course are taken.
As a matter of policy, the first examination pursued takes precedence over subsequent
tests.
Advanced
Placement Tests: The University grants advanced placement and/or credit to qualified
participants in the College Entrance Examination Board’s Advanced Placement
(AP) Examination Program. Current University policy is to award advanced placement
with credit to those students who submit an official AP score report with a
score of 5, 4, or 3 on the AP examination. Information about AP can be obtained
from a student’s high school guidance counselor or by writing to the Director,
Advanced Placement Program, College Entrance Examination Board, 45 Columbus
Avenue, New York, New York 10023.
College-Level
Examination Program: The College Entrance Examination Board has developed a
program containing Subject Examinations and General Examinations known as the
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). This program enables individuals who
have acquired their education in nontraditional ways to demonstrate their academic
achievement.
The
University at Albany participates in the CLEP program and currently will award
credit and/or placement for Subject Examinations and General Examinations
i. that are equivalent to courses currently acceptable for transfer to the University
at Albany, and
ii.
on which the student has scored at or above the 50th percentile (i.e.,
equivalent to the grade of C.)
Students
seeking to gain CLEP credit should be aware that the following three (3) restrictions
apply:
First,
CLEP credit will not be awarded to students who have satisfactorily completed
a course and then pass a CLEP examination covering substantially the same material.
Second,
CLEP credit will not be awarded for CLEP examinations if the student
has satisfactorily completed more advanced courses in the same field.
Third,
since the General Examinations and Subject Examinations are designed to test
lower-division study, students who have completed either their sophomore
year and/or 56 credits of undergraduate study cannot earn credits from either
the General Examinations or the Subject Examinations.
exceptions:
A student seeking an exception to this policy must petition the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies. In that petition, the student must include an explicit recommendation
from the academic department that grants the credits. In addition, the student
must provide a compelling educational rationale detailing the reasons why an
exception should be considered.
NOTE:
This policy applies to all students who matriculate at the University at
Albany in fall 1999 and thereafter.
Further
information concerning CLEP can be obtained either from the Admissions Office
at this University or by contacting the Program Director, College-Level Examination
Program, Box 6600, Princeton, NJ 08541-6600.
The
International Baccalaureate
A
secondary education program with origins in Europe, the International Baccalaureate
Program now being offered in some American high schools is an upper-secondary-level
program with a core curriculum and distribution requirements leading to a diploma
or one or more certificates of examination.
Similar
to the British “A Level” examinations and the French Baccalaureate,
the IB program is a system of syllabuses, or course descriptions, and examinations
based on the concept that general education at the upper-secondary-level should
encompass the development of all the main powers of the mind through which a
person interprets, modifies, and enjoys the environment.
With
these principles in mind, an international group of educators has designed a
program which requires that each student become proficient in language and mathematics,
the two most important tools of communication and analysis; become familiar
with at least one subject that exemplifies the study of human behavior and with
another that involves scientific inquiry; develop an acquaintance with aesthetic
and moral values; engage in creative, aesthetic, social service, or physical
activities; and participate in a common course that reflects upon the truth,
criteria, values, and inter-relations of the subjects under study.
The
six areas studied at the eleventh- and twelfth-grade level in the American high
schools which employ the program are
(1)
Language A (first language);
(2) Language B (second language);
(3) Study of Man;
(4) Experimental Science;
(5) Mathematics;
(6) Art, Music, Classical Language.
A seventh course known as Theory of Knowledge is also included, and through
it each student engages in creative, aesthetic, or social activities.
Three
of the six subjects have to be offered at the Higher Level and three at the
Subsidiary Level. Courses are graded on a scale from 0 to 7. The University
at Albany will consider for credit and/or placement on a course-by-course evaluation
those IB subjects completed at the Higher Level in which a score from 4 (satisfactory)
to 7 (excellent) is earned.
Because
of the comprehensive nature of the courses in the IB program, and since it has
been the University’s experience that exact course equivalents are difficult
to identify, credit is generally awarded on an elective basis.
United
States Armed Forces Institute/Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education
Support
The
United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI), an educational division of the
Department of Defense, once provided educational opportunities at various levels
for personnel on active duty with all branches of the military. College-level
courses culminated in USAFI Subject Standardized Tests and End-of-Course Tests.
In
1974, in an administrative move, the Department of Defense discontinued the
USAFI program and created the DANTES program, which is very similar in nature
and purpose to USAFI. The guidelines used for USAFI courses are also used for
the DANTES program.
The
University will award appropriate credit for Subject Standardized Tests on which
a percentile score of 50 or higher was earned and for End-of-Course Tests for
which a rating of S (Satisfactory) or D (with Distinction) was
assigned, provided the courses are considered equivalent to courses currently
acceptable for transfer to this University. Information on acceptable courses,
score levels, and amounts of credit can be obtained from the Admissions Office.
Credit
for Work Done at Noncollegiate Institutions
In
1974, the New York State Education Department (SED) began a systematic evaluation
of the formal learning experiences sponsored by noncollegiate institutions;
that is, organizations whose primary focus is not education. They include private
industry, professional associations, labor unions, voluntary associations, and
government agencies. The publication A Guide to Educational Programs in Noncollegiate
Organizations describes the available courses offered by each organization
and includes SED’s credit recommendation.
The
University will award transfer credit for work done through noncollegiate institutions
if:
1.
The course is listed in A Guide to Educational Programs in Noncollegiate
Organizations
2.
The course meets all present criteria and standards for transferability, is
comparable to a University at Albany offering, and is collegiate in nature
3.
The course is approved by the appropriate University academic department, school,
or college
Requests
for transfer credit should be made initially to the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions. The student making the request must provide the Admissions Office
with a course syllabus, an extended course outline, and any other supplementary
material on the course that might be required by the academic department, school,
or college. If a course receives departmental approval, it will generally be
eligible for transfer credit in the future, but will be subject to periodic
review by the approving department, college, or school.
Readmission
Procedure
A
former student who wishes to be readmitted as an undergraduate should refer
to the section on readmission policies and procedures under “Undergraduate
Academic Regulations.”
