INFORMATION FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS

How to apply:
From outside the USC System:
Apply to the University through the Admissions Office and be accepted.  Must have a minimum cumulative grade point average (on all work previously attempted) of 2.5 from all institutions attended.

From within the USC System:
If you are a major in another school or college within the USC system, you must obtain a change of major form from the dean of that school/college.  A minimum USC and Collegiate GPA (on all work previously attempted) of 2.5 is required.

As a Graduate Student:
Visit the graduate pages of this Web site.

Advisement:
Due to the large number of transfer students that enter the University the School of Journalism and Mass Communications encourages all transfer students to attend orientation.

Foreign Language Proficiency:
Students entering the School of Journalism and Mass Communications are also required to take the proficiency test in Foreign Language. If you fail to take the proficiency test or complete two semesters of the same foreign language you will be hindering your progression requirements and may prolong your graduation date.

Transferring Courses:
Course transferability from Technical College within the State can be found at http://www.sc.edu/admissions/transfer.htm. If you have any specific questions regarding transferring courses into the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, call our Student Services Office at (803) 777-8528.
