Santa Clara University: Transfer Admission Agreement

Although the November 30th UC Admissions deadline has passed, there still remains many options to consider – especially for community college students. Many private universities offer transfer admission agreements or contracts. Among the various private universities, Santa Clara University is one of them. Located within the Bay Area of California and near community colleges such as Foothill College and De Anza College, Santa Clara University is an option to consider for transfer students.

Under Santa Clara University’s Transfer Admission Agreement, a list and overview of guidelines are provided to aid in the transfer process which is as follows:

1. Transfer Admission Agreements (TAAs) may be written for fall quarter admission only
2. TAAs are submitted to Santa Clara from January 1st to March 1st (this allows students to include their most recent transcript, which includes the fall term grades along with the TAA)
3. Required Courses: It is recommended that you refer to your school’s most recent transfer guide for courses recommended for particular majors
4. Additional courses are required for the specific majors of: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics/Computer Science, and Economics
5. Grade Point Average (GPA): SCU requires a cumulative GPA of 3.3 in transferable courses for Arts & Sciences. The School of Engineering and the Leavey School of Business require a minimum GPA of 3.5
6. Transfer students must earn at least 30 transferable semester units or 45 transferable quarter units (these courses must include the required courses for each major) by the end of the Fall term (courses planned for the Summer Term will not be considered in the TAA)
7. Students with English as a second language must complete their 2 English Composition and Math courses with a B or higher by Fall term. Students who have not satisfied these requirements can prove their language proficiency by submitting SAT and TOEFL (Test of English a Foreign Language) scores.
8. No “Pass/No Pass” or “Credit” basis is accepted
9. The following students are not eligible for TAAs:

• Students who have completed post-secondary coursework outside of the United States
