[La-cgs] Definition of a transfer graduate student

[B. Ramu Ramachandran]

John:

Your situation is not different from ours. However, as we discussed 
during our last meeting in Lafayette, we are now under a mandate by the 
UL System to review the transcripts of all "transfer students" for 
eligibility to return and for any completed or pending administrative 
actions. So, it seems we need a way of identifying and flagging transfer 
grad admissions.

Sushma says ULM flags transfer graduate students. I hope she chimes in 
soon with their definition or criteria for determining who a transfer 
student is.

Best regards,
Ramu
