Transfer Students
Students who have earned 24 or more credit hours at Radford University, that GPA will be used for the admission process. Students who have less than 24 hours at Radford University, the GPA will be calculated on all course work from all college(s) attended. The Combined GPA will be used for the admission process. Students with a baccalaureate degree will meet the university core curriculum requirements and only the pre-requisite courses will be considered in calculating the GPA for admission consideration. Credit may be earned for select courses by examination (CLEP, ACT-PEP).
