Application for Shifting/Transfer Ongoing
REQUIREMENTS
1. The applicants must have completed the following minimum units for Pre-Econ courses:
30 units ——————- Sophomore applicants
60 units ——————- Junior applicants
Pre-econ courses include general education courses in the relevant SE curricula (i.e., BS-Economics and BS Business Economics). Courses taken under the applicant’s old curriculum that qualify as free electives will be credited if and when the applicant is accepted and will also be considered for evaluation purposes.
2. The applicant can not make up for any inadequacy in the number of units by enrolling during the Summer after the application period. Thus, if a sophomore applicant has completed only 27 units of qualified pre-econ courses as of the time of application, the course(s) he or she will enroll during the summer after the application period will not be considered.
In computing the general weighted average a grade of “4” will be counted if not yet removed. If removed by means of exam, the final grade of “3” or “5” will be counted. If the student re-enrolled in course, “4” remains “4” until course is completed in which case, the final grade on re-enrollment and the grade of “4” is inputted. If not removed or student does not re-enroll within the prescribed period of one year, “4” becomes “5”.
3. General weighted average requirements for sophomore and junior applicants, currently enrolled is 2.25.
4. The applicants must have not been found guilty of any offense.
5. The applicants must attach a recent 2×2 passport size photo on the application form.
