Transfer Information
Transfer students are eligible for admission to The University
of West Alabama according to the following policies:
- Unconditional Admission - Transfer students who (1) have
earned at least a 2.00 average at previous institutions
and (2) are eligible to return to the last institution which
they attended on a full-time basis.
- Conditional Admission - Transfer students who fail to

their former institutions to the Admissions Office and by
appearing personally before the Director of Admissions.
If the Admission and Retention Committee approves such applicants,

The University of West Alabama is participating in the STARS
program to benefit interested transfer students. It is a computerized
articulation and transfer planning system designed to inform
Alabama students about degree requirements, course equivalents,
and other transfer information pertaining to specific majors.
If it is used properly, the database can prevent the loss
of course credit hours, can provide direction for the scheduling
of course work and can make the transition from one institution
to another easier.
