College or University Transfer
Students may enter San Jacinto College by transferring from another accredited college or university if they are eligible to re-enroll at the last school they attended and if they complete the steps for admission to San Jacinto College. Transfer students must request that each college or university they attended send an official transcript to the Admissions Office.
Students who hold a bachelor's degree or higher may submit only a transcript from the school that awarded that degree, plus transcripts of any credit earned thereafter. Students must report accurately all colleges and universities they have attended, or they will face disciplinary action and possible withdrawal.
A student's academic status during the most recent term of enrollment at another college or university determines the academic status under which the student is admitted to San Jacinto College. A student in good standing at the previous school will be admitted in good standing. A student on academic probation will be admitted on academic probation and should see the Admission of Probationary and Suspended Students section. A student on academic suspension whose suspension period is over, may be admitted on academic probation and should see the Re-Enrollment after Suspension section.
A transfer student on academic suspension whose suspension period has not passed should see the Appeals for Reinstatement During Suspension section. Transfer students who are admitted to San Jacinto College on academic probation must earn the grade point average specified in the Academic Probation and Suspension section.
Students are responsible for knowing if their academic status entitles them to admission. If a student is not eligible to enroll but succeeds in enrolling anyway, that student may be withdrawn and have to forfeit all tuition and fees.
Evaluation of Transcripts for Transfer Students
The San Jacinto College District will evaluate all college and university transcripts for all transfer students who declare their intent to seek a degree or certificate. A transfer student is defined as a student whose declared intent is to seek a degree or certificate at San Jacinto College. Transcripts for students who have previous college or university work and who are enrolling as non-degree seeking students will not be considered as transfer students. Transcripts will be evaluated for non-degree seeking students upon request or when these students declare their intent to seek a degree or certificate.
