ASU transfer requirements from community college?

I'm considering transferring to Arizona State University from my community college. What are the GPA and other requirements I should be aware of before applying? How competitive is the transfer process?

Arizona State University's transfer admission process is relatively straightforward and well outlined on their website.

The general transfer requirements for Arizona State University (ASU) include:

1. You should have completed at least 12 transferable credits from a post-secondary institution.

2. You should be in good academic standing at the last institution attended (this essentially means you shouldn't be on academic probation or suspension).

3. Additionally, if you've completed less than 24 transferable credit hours, high-school transcripts and test scores may be required to review your admission.

ASU requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (or 2.0 for Arizona residents) in all transferable college work. If the college you're transferring from uses quarters instead of semesters, ASU will convert your quarter credits to semester credits by multiplying them by 0.67.

As for the competitiveness of the transfer process, while the minimum cumulative GPA is 2.5 (or 2.0 for in-state), you should aim for a higher GPA to increase your chances of getting accepted. ASU also looks for a solid academic path in your choice of courses. That means that if you're planning on pursuing a degree in Engineering at ASU, for example, they'd want to see some related courses in your community college credit (like math or science courses).

Remember, transferring also involves sending your official transcripts from each college or university attended, so make sure to request those well in advance.

Arizona State is a large university and has a relatively high acceptance rate for transfer students, which is good news. If you meet the necessary requirements and keep your grades up, your chances of getting in are quite good. However, some programs may be more competitive than others.

Remember, transfers aren't just based on grades, they're looking at your total picture as a student, including what kind of courses you took and how they align with your intended degree at ASU, so make sure you demonstrate a consistent academic path. Good luck!
