Transfer-Student Admission Requirements

Applicants to Columbus Technical College who have been previously enrolled at another college or university will be considered for admission as transfer students.

Transfer students must meet all new-student admission requirements. Students who have completed a degree-level program at another accredited college or university and who present an official transcript from that college or university documenting the degree will not be required to submit a high school transcript.

Students who have completed college-level English and mathematics coursework from a regionally accredited institution with grades of "C" or better and who present official transcripts showing the completed coursework will not be required to undergo additional testing prior to acceptance into degree, diploma, or certificate-level programs. Programs with competitive acceptance processes may require valid test scores.

Transfer students are required to take the placement test if their transcript indicates less-than- satisfactory performance at the previous college(s).

A transfer student is admitted to Columbus Technical College:

  1. In good standing if the student was in good standing at his/her former institution.
  2. On probation if the student was on warning at his/her former institution. To be removed from academic probation, a student must earn a grade point average at least 2.0 during the first semester enrolled.
  3. On probation if the student was on probation at their former institution. A student admitted on probation must earn a grade point average of at least 2.0 during the first semester enrolled to continue the next semester.
  4. Transfer students who are on academic suspension from their former institution are considered for admission to Columbus Technical College on the same basis as suspended students from Columbus Technical College who apply for readmission. Such applicants, if admitted, are admitted on probation as indicated above. A student admitted on probation must earn a grade point average of at least 2.0 during the first semester enrolled to continue the next semester.
