I'm considering transferring to the College of Charleston and I'm trying to figure out what the specific requirements are. Does anyone know what I need in terms of GPA and completed credits?
For the College of Charleston, transfer applicants must have earned a minimum of 24 transferable semester hours (36 quarter hours) by the time of their expected enrollment. Make sure your credits come from an accredited institution, as non-accredited institution credits will not be considered.
As for GPA, while there isn't a specific minimum listed, they generally look for a college GPA of 2.6 or higher. However, keep in mind the University practices a holistic application review process, so other factors, such as your course difficulty level and extracurricular involvement, can influence your admission chances.
Additionally, College of Charleston usually requires an official high school transcript and standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) from applicants with fewer than 24 semester hours of transferable credit.
Keep in mind that different departments have unique requirements, so it's a good idea to check the specific prerequisites for the course of study you plan on pursuing. Also, remember to submit your application by the posted deadline to ensure your materials are reviewed for admission. It's always best to check the college's official website or contact the admissions office for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Good luck with your application!
