- A transfer student whose cumulative grade point average at the transfer institution(s) is 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale will be admitted on clear academic status. They are subject to the same Academic Standards of Progress as a native student.
A transfer student whose cumulative grade point average at the transfer institution(s) is less than a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale will be admitted only on academic probation. The transcript will read “Admitted on Academic Probation.” The student will retain this status until the student has attempted at least 12 credit hours at the College. If, at the conclusion of the term in which the student has attempted a total of 12 or more credit hours at the College, the cumulative GPA is below 1.5, the student is suspended for one semester. If, at the conclusion of the semester in which the transfer student was admitted on Academic Probation has attempted a total of 12 or more credit hours at the College, the cumulative GPA is 1.5 or above, the student’s status is Clear.
Grades accrued at duly accredited postsecondary institutions including other Alabama Community Colleges are not included in GPA calculation. Nursing students should refer to the Nursing Transfer Policy.
- An applicant who has been placed on academic suspension from another duly accredited postsecondary institution may be admitted as a transfer student only after making a successful appeal to the College Admissions and Academic Appeals Committee. The decision of the committee is final. If the transfer student is admitted upon appeal, the student will enter Central Alabama Community College on academic probation and the transcript will read “Admitted Upon Appeal-Academic Probation.”
