Transfer Admission
An applicant’s file will be reviewed after the following have been received:
- A completed admissions application form using the Common Application.
- Official transcripts from all prior college work.
- Official high school transcript and/or a copy of the GED certificate may be requested if the transfer requirements below are not met.
A student will be considered for admission to the University based on unofficial transcripts; however, official transcripts are the only acceptable documents to be evaluated for transfer equivalencies.
Transfer Admission Requirements
If the applicant is transferring fewer than 24 semester hours to Coker, an official high school transcript and/or a copy of the GED certificate may be requested by the Office of Admissions.
An applicant must meet one of the three criteria below for admission to Coker University. The grade point average for admission is calculated from all prior college coursework.
- a 2.00 grade point average in 30 or more transferable hours of college-level credit; or
- a 2.50 grade point average in 20-29 transferable hours of college-level credit; or
- a 2.75 grade point average in 12-19 transferable hours of college-level credit.
If the above criteria is not met, a senior-ranking admissions representative reserves the right to allow high school transcripts/GED certificates to be reviewed for possible admission, if the student has obtained a 2.0 average in all college-level work attempted. Once the student’s admissions file is complete, an admissions decision is normally made within seven days.
The Office of Academic Records will evaluate all previous credits for transferability after the application for admission has been completed. See Transfer Credit for complete information
