2.0 GPA for transferring credits

There are several paths to admittance at A-State:

If you have 13 or more transferrable college credit hours, you would be admitted if you have a cumulative college GPA of at least 2.0 on previous college coursework

If you have 0-12 transferrable college credit hours and have been out of high school for five years or more, you would be admitted if you:

Have a high school diploma or state-approved equivalent
Have completed 12 or fewer earned college hours
Have never enrolled as a student at A-State

Note: If you’re admitted as non-traditional first-time freshman, you may be required to successfully complete a predesignated curriculum of 12 hours (Certificate or Non-Degree). Upon successful completion, you will be transitioned to a degree seeking program.

If you have 0-12 transferrable college credit hours and have been in high school within the last 5 years, you would be admitted if you have one of the following:

3.0 cumulative high school grad point average (or GED test score equivalent), OR
19 minimum ACT super score or minimum 990 combined SAT super score, OR
Class rank in the top 20% of your graduating class
