Transfer Applicants

To be eligible to enroll, all transfer students must have a cumulative college GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 system (on all college-level academic courses attempted), be in good standing, and be eligible to return as a degree-seeking student to the postsecondary school most recently attended. All freshman admission requirements must be met except as specified for mid-level and upper-division transfer applicants.

Mid-Level Transfer Applicants

Transfers with 30 or more but less than 60 transferable semester hours:  In addition to meeting the general transfer requirements, students must have successfully completed (C or higher) at least one English Composition course and one college mathematics course that consists of three (3) semester credit hours. SAT/ACT scores may be waived. Students not meeting these requirements must meet the requirements for transfer students with less than 30 transferable semester hours.

Upper-Level Transfer Applicants

Upper-level transfers are students who will, by the time of enrollment at New College, have earned either

  1. the AA from a Florida College System or State University System of Florida institution (with the exception of dual enrollment students, as noted below);
  2. the equivalent of 60 semester credit hours of transfer credit; or
  3. a bachelor’s or advanced degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

The requirement to submit SAT or ACT scores can be waived for upper-level transfer students and mid-level transfer students upon receipt and review of all official college/university transcripts; the high school transcript requirement can be waived for AA transfer students from the Florida College System by request made directly to the Office of Admissions.

Although completion of a Florida College System institution AA degree guarantees admission eligibility to at least one member institution of the State University System of Florida, it does not guarantee admission to all programs or all member institutions. New College and some limited access SUS degree programs, due to design and/or limited size, may have admission requirements that are more selective than those of the general State University System.

Minimum Performance Standards

To be eligible to enroll, freshmen and lower-level transfers must meet the standards of SUS admission requirements as described by Florida Board of Governors regulations 6.002 and 6.004. Consideration is given not only to college preparatory course work (or the equivalent), but also to the weighted grade point average determined by NCF, SAT or ACT scores, and preparedness to complete college-level work.
