REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Transfer applicants must submit an application, the required $30
application fee, and have official transcripts sent from high
school as well as each college attended. Test scores are not required
for applicants who have earned at least 22 hours of college-transferable
work. A 2.0 cumulative college GPA is required.
From Other Post-Secondary Institutions
Students must be eligible for readmission to the institutions
they last attended. Students with unsatisfactory academic records
or conduct at other institutions are considered only if there
are extenuating circumstances and/or time intervals (such as military
or work experience) that would give clear evidence to the Admissions
Office that admission is warranted. Students who wish to appeal
to the committee should submit a completed Request for Admission
Review Form available from the Office of Admissions.
Students transferring fewer than 22 hours will be required to
submit SAT or ACT scores along with high school transcripts. Credit
for previous college work will be awarded by the Registrar at
Francis Marion University.
The maximum amount of credit acceptable upon transfer is 65 semester
hours from institutions accredited as junior colleges or two-year
institutions. Transfer students are reminded of Francis Marion
University's residence requirements, which stipulate that a minimum
of 36 semester hours of course credits must be taken in residence
within five calendar years preceding the date the degree is granted.
Also see residence requirements for students pursuing a Bachelor
of Business Administration degree.
Transfer Students Who Previously Attended FMU
Former FMU students who transfer to another institution while
eligible to continue at FMU may return to FMU provided that they
earned a 2.0 GPA on all college-transferable work since leaving
FMU. They must complete an application for admission.
Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Transfer Policy
Students who earn an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science
degree from a regionally or nationally accredited college or university
are eligible to transfer directly from the degree granting institution
to FMU.
