It is the role of the University to help each student succeed in a program from which he can benefit. If a transfer student is ineligible to return to a particular curriculum in a previous college, Under normal circumstances he will not be allowed to enroll in the same curriculum in the college until two semesters elapse or until he/she completes an approved developmental program at the college. The Admissions Committee of the University shall decide on each case and shall impose special conditions for the admissions of such students, including placement on probation. Each student transferring from another college should consult with the Director of Admissions for an assessment of credits in order to determine his/her standing before registering for classes.
