What kind of transfer student am I?
Transfer
If you have attended another college-level institution and attempted one or more courses, regardless of credit earned, you are a transfer student. If you have attempted less than 12 semester hours of college-level work, you must meet both transfer and freshman entrance requirements.
Readmit
You are a readmitting student if you have missed a major semester (fall or spring) or more at USCA or any other USC campus. If you have attempted work at any other non-USC institution, you must submit transcripts from those institutions.
Change of Campus
If you are currently enrolled at another USC campus, you are a change of campus student. Students with less than 12 semester hours of non-developmental coursework must also meet freshman admissions requirements.
Transient Admissions
You are a transient student if you are attending another college or university and would like to enroll at USCA for one regular semester or two summer terms before returning to your college or university.
Non-Degree Seeking
If you wish to take a course(s) for personal enrichment or professional enhancement, you are a non-degree-seeking student. Entrance exams, transcripts, and recommendations are generally not required.
USCA awards credit for various awards and academic credit transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
USCA requires at least 12 hours of transferable courses (excluding remedial courses) with a 2.0 or higher GPA on the work transferred for credit. If you have less than 12 hours, we will also need your final high school transcript and test scores and you will need to meet freshman requirements in addition to having a 2.0 on transferable coursework.
To submit official college or high school transcripts:
- Submit paper or electronic transcripts directly from your previous institution(s) or a third-party source, such as Parchment to USCA at admit@usca.edu or:

You must meet transfer requirements for the non-USCA work and complete a re-admit application. You will be evaluated first on your transfer work and then on your USCA work. If your USCA work is below requirements, you may be able to petition for readmission.
You’ll need to take certain specific steps and a special application to complete. Do not submit a transfer or readmit application, but indicate Change of Campus on the application for admission.
