Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Transfer Credit

  1. Am I required to attend a cross campus transfer information session before scheduling an academic advising appointment? 

     

    The Newnan Advising Center highly encourages you to attend a cross campus transfer information session before meeting with an advisor.  It will provide you with the policies about transferring and will help you be better prepared to meet with an advisor one-on-one.

     

  2. When can I make a cross campus transfer to LSA?

     

    You must remain in your home unit for at least two full terms. 

  3. Are there any prerequisite courses required to transfer into LSA?  No

     

  4. What GPA do I need to transfer?

     

    To be eligible to transfer you must be in good academic standing with a 2.0 overall GPA and in your last semester of attendance. 

     

  5. Will I lose credits in transfer to LSA?

     

    There is the possibility that you will lose or gain credits when you transfer to LSA due to the following issues: 

    1. LSA only accepts certain credits from other units.
    2. LSA will accept only 20 non-LSA credits in transfer towards the degree
    3. LSA maintains its own AP policies regarding scores needed for AP exams to generate credit.
    4. LSA does not award credits for the language placement exam

    You will need to meet with an academic advisor to discuss how LSA policies may impact the number of credits counting towards your degree in LSA.
