To be considered a transfer student, an applicant must have passed at least 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of college level (non-remedial) course work at a regionally accredited institution(s). Any applicant who does not meet this requirement must meet the admission requirements for first-time freshmen.

Transfer course work will be included in the evaluation and considered for transfer into the student’s AUM degree plan. A maximum of 64 semester hours (to account for up to four lab courses) or 100 quarter hours may be transferred from junior or community colleges.

The AUM admissions staff will review all documents and notify applicants of the University’s decision. In accordance with academic standards established by the University, students may be admitted in different categories based upon their academic evaluation. Specific academic programs might have additional requirements for admission; this could include additional testing.

An applicant must have a cumulative GPA of no less than 2.0 from all postsecondary institutions attended and be eligible to return to the last institution attended to be granted full admission. If there is a question regarding the student’s good standing at a prior institution attended, the student will need to verify that he/she is eligible to return to that institution.

MILITARY SERVICE CREDITS

Credit for Military Schools

It is the policy of Auburn University Montgomery to follow the recommendations of the American Council on Education on credit given for the successful completion of service schools, including AWC and ACSC.  Credit for military education is evaluated by the Registrar or appropriate staff member.  The applicability of such credit to a specific program will be determined by the Dean of the school concerned.

Credit for USAFI/DANTES Level Tests and Subject Standardized Tests

Undergraduate credit may be allowed for college level courses completed by correspondence or for subject examinations administered by the Armed Forces Institute or institution approved by the Armed Forces Institute and other accredited institutions as approved by the Dean concerned.

Credit Recommended by the American Council on Education

The ACE presently evaluates both military schools and civilian training programs for academic credit.  Since this evaluation is handled by faculty members of accredited institutions of higher learning, Auburn University Montgomery will accept the ACE recommendations for credit earned in nonacademic programs.  The applicability of such credit to a specific program will be determined by the Dean of the school and faculty advisor.
