I'm considering transferring to San Diego Christian College, but I'm not sure about the specific transfer requirements. Can anyone share what I should expect in terms of GPA, credits, and other requirements? Any advice would be appreciated!
Sure thing! To transfer to San Diego Christian College (SDCC), you need to meet several requirements:
1. GPA: SDCC requires transfer students to have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA in all previously attempted college work. The college does specify, however, that a higher GPA might be required for certain majors, acceptance into which would be dependent on a review by the respective department.
2. Credits: In terms of transfer credits, you should have completed at least 24 semester units of college-level work. If the coursework was done in a quarter system, the equivalent is 36 quarter units. SDCC also allows a maximum of 70 units from a two-year institution and up to 94 units from a four-year institution to be transferred.
3. Specific Coursework: Transcripts of completed coursework need to be submitted. Note that there might be specific courses required based on your chosen major. For example, business majors will likely have to complete foundational courses in fields like economics or mathematics.
4. Christian Faith: Given that SDCC is a Christian institution, you will also be expected to provide a Christian Leader Reference, which should confirm that you are an active member of a Bible-believing church.
5. Other requirements: In addition to the above points, you'll need to submit an application form and pay a small application fee.
Before transferring, I would recommend that you communicate with an academic advisor at SDCC to understand how your credits would transfer and how it affects your study plan. Also, remember that these requirements are subject to change, so you should always verify the current ones from SDCC’s official website or their admissions office. Good luck with your transfer process!
