the general policy is the same for both campuses, the implementing procedures and regulations will reflect individual campus requirements. Urbana-Champaign General Policy T h e University shall give priority to those transfer applicants who are best qualified. When spaces are limited and applicants with equal qualifications are being considered, priority will be given to junior college and four-year college transfer applicants whose curriculum choice is not available at the institution from which they apply for transfer. Minimum Requirements at Urbana-Champaign Minimum requirements for the admission of transfer applicants to the UrbanaChampaign campus shall be (1) completion of an associate degree, or an equivalent number of acceptable credit hours (normally sixty semester or ninety quarter hours of credit), in a baccalaureate-oriented program and (2) a pretransfer gradepoint average of 3.25 (3.0 = C ) . Some curricula require a higher minimum gradepoint average. Transfer applicants to college, curricula, and levels for which a shortage of qualified applicants is anticipated may be admitted with the approval of the Dean of the College and the Director of Admissions and Records if (a) the applicant has completed an associate degree, or an equivalent number of credit hours, in a baccalaureate-oriented program, but has a pretransfer grade-point average below 3.25 but 3.0 or above, or (b) has the required 3.25 average, but has not completed an associate degree, or an equivalent number of hours, in a baccalaureate-oriented program. After all applicants who meet the requirements of (a) or (b) above have been considered, and spaces remain, applicants who have completed 45 quarter (30 semester) hours with a grade-point average of below 3.25 but 3.0 or above will be considered for admission. (Modifies sections titled "Grade-point Average Requirement for Undergraduate Transfer Students" and "Requirements for Admission of Nonresident Undergraduate Students" approved by the Board of Trustees on July 22, 1964.) Transfer applicants who have not completed an associate degree, or an equivalent number of credit hours, in a baccalaureate-oriented program will be considered for admission if the applicant cannot obtain, at the college or university which he had attended, a course of study leading to the bachelor's degree which he hopes to attain. Procedures at Urbana-Champaign A beginning date for receipt of transfer applications and a beginning date for action on transfer applications shall be established. If, on the action date, the number of qualified applicants in a college or curriculum exceeds the number that can be admitted, those who are best qualified will be approved in the order of their qualifications until all spaces are filled. If, on the action date, the number of qualified transfer applicants does not exceed the number of transfer students who can be accepted, other qualified applicants will be accepted in the order of their completed applications until all available spaces are filled. (Modifies section titled "Progressive Admission of Undergraduate Students" approved by the Board of Trustees on July 26, 1960.) Chicago Circle General Policy The University shall give priority to those transfer applicants who are best qualified. When spaces are limited and applicants with equal qualifications are being considered, priority will be given to junior college and four-year college transfer applicants whose curriculum choice is not available at the institution from which they apply for transfer.
