[La-cgs] Definition of a transfer graduate student

[Obadiah Simmons]

Colleagues:

Our policy here at GSU states that to be admitted to the graduate program at GSU, a student who has attended a graduate school at another institution must be eligible for re-admission to that graduate school. In addition, the student must meet all requirements for graduate admission at GSU.

Dear LA Council:

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.

Is it understood or implied that a "transfer admission" applies to a student who is enrolled elsewhere at the time of application 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.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Ramu
