<p class="MsoNormal">As the “newbie” here, please take my thoughts with a grain of salt! I would agree that the student described in scenario A below should be classified as a transfer student but not the student in scenario B. Of course, this is all complicated
by the policy that graduate students must earn at least 9 hours at UNO before they can apply for any credits to be transferred. So, we are classifying them as transfer students but not giving them the credits for at least one semester which is a bit awkward.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Dear LA Council:<br>
<br>
We are trying to come up with a definition of a transfer graduate student, and it seems that there are policies at the UL System level and in our own Catalog about transfer admissions (GPA, good standing, eligibility to return, etc., etc.) but the definition
is not clear.<br>
<br>
Is it understood or implied that a "transfer admission" applies to a student who is
<u>enrolled elsewhere at the time of application</u> to your institution, or does it also apply to someone who dropped out of college for a while and is now applying to you? I know that we require transcripts of all previous college work regardless of the current
or prior enrollment status at the time of application.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
