Transfer students are defined by Slippery Rock University as those students who have graduated from high school and have subsequently enrolled in post-secondary coursework.  High school students who complete post-secondary coursework prior to their high school graduation are considered freshmen.  Transfer students, who will hold an associate degree at the time of enrollment at the University, must provide official copies of post-secondary transcripts at the time of the admission application.  Those transfers who will not hold an associate degree must additionally provide an official copy of the high school transcript and/or copy of the GED diploma test scores.  After the offer of admission and payment of the enrollment deposit, the Office of Admissions prepares and forwards to the student an official audit of transfer credits (the DARS report) and the name and phone number of the student's academic advisor. The transfer student then contacts the advisor to make arrangements for the first semester's registration.
