TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES
Eligibility
Students transferring to Southeastern from another university or college must be eligible
to re-enter the college or university from which they are transferring, and they must
meet the minimum scholastic standards set forth elsewhere in this catalog for Southeastern
students. Students must have their official transcripts from all institutions previously
attended sent directly to the Office of Admissions at Southeastern (if hand carried,
the transcript must be in an officially sealed envelope from the issuing institution).
If a student is a veteran and was suspended, the student must be counseled by a VA
representative before certification for entitlement. All suspensions from another
university will be counted in the total number of suspensions. In the absence of academic
action from the last session of attendance at a previous college or university, the
same standards for suspension and dismissal will be applied as for Southeastern students.
