During the semester in which 60 semester hours are to be completed, a student's records will be reviewed for Advanced Standing.

A student who has transferred more than 48 or more semester hours will be reviewed no later than the second semester of registration.

To receive Advanced Standing, the student must have accomplished the following:

1. Completed 60 semester hours.
2. Earned a minimum of 2.0 cumulative quality point average at Slippery Rock University.
3. Satisfactorily completed or exempted basic skills courses (completencies) in English, Communications, and Beginning Algebra.
4. Chosen a major and received approval from the appropriate department chairpersons.

Approval is based upon criteria developed by the department and approved by the appropriate dean.

A student who does not meet these requirements will not be permitted to register for upper level major courses and during the next semester will be expected to complete the necessary requirements for Advanced Standing by taking the appropriate fundamental skills courses and/or repeating those courses in which "NC" or "F" grades were earned. Departments may establish requirements beyond those listed above. Specific requirements should be obtained from the department chairperson.
