Transfer Student Information

Basic Facts

• Credits earned with grades of “C” or better may be transferred to Tri-State.  All accepted credits may not count toward the specific degree requirements of the chosen major at Tri-State.
• Only credits attempted and earned at Tri State are used to determine the GPA.
• Credit acceptance is determined by the chair of the appropriate department.  A credit evaluation will be completed and sent to the student after all appropriate documents have been received.
• Tri-State uses the A=4.0 grading system.
• Applications are accepted for any term.
• Cars are allowed.

Two-Plus-Two

Transfer students who have earned associate degrees in any applied fields of study may work toward their bachelor of applied management. The emphasis in the applied management program is on the elements of business administration, which build on the previously completed applied programs.

This degree program allows for 98 semester hours (147 quarter hours) of transfer credit, and usually requires four semesters of study at Tri-State.

Articulation Agreements

Tri-State and a number of community colleges have transfer (articulation) agreements which facilitate the application procedure and offer special benefits.

Students from two-year colleges should check with their transfer counselors to see if their schools have such agreements.
