Out-of-State Colleges and Universities
Each out-of-state college and university employ their own unique transfer admission requirements independent of the others. It is important to reach out to the admission office of each campus under consideration.
Generally, out-of-state colleges and universities accept students with less than 60 units – typically 24 to 30 transferrable units is treated as the minimum. GPA requirements also vary widely, but at the least, a student seeking transfer should maintain a minimum 2.0. It is highly recommended that students complete English Composition (ENGL 101 or ENGL 101H) and a college-level mathematics course according to your major prior to transfer. Please see a counselor for assistance with choosing the right mathematics course.
Transferring to an institution from out-of-state generally means that a student will be charged out-of-state tuition, often double that of state residents, or more. An admission representative at the transferring institution should be able to provide prospective students with details about potential programs available to assist in reducing the cost of attendance. An example of such a program the www.wiche.edu/wue program, which offers a reduced tuition to California residents.
