IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TRANSFER TO UGA
To qualify to transfer the A.S. in Consumer Economics to UGA, students must:
- Submit the Undergraduate Application for Admission to UGA during the last semester at SCTC prior to completion of the associate’s degree but before the UGA application deadline (see www.admissions.uga.edu for deadline). Students whose last semester at SCTC is a spring semester must meet the appropriate deadline, but may submit a form requesting a file completion deadline of June 1. This would allow the term enrolled to count towards the hours and grades needed for admission.
- Earn a minimum cumulative GPA and transferable hours that meet UGA requirements at the time of transfer.
- Complete the Consumer Economics A.S. degree program (60-63 credit hours) at SCTC.
- Be in good standing at SCTC and have no conduct or behavior issues when reviewed by UGA Admissions.
- Have cleared any CPC issues prior to applying to UGA.
