Frequently Asked Questions

for Transfer Students

SAS Home When can I register for classes? Transfer students register for classes at Orientation in August. During Orientation, once you have completed all required placement testing, you will meet with an advisor and register for classes. Please contact Admissions for more information about Transfer Orientation.

What are the placement tests? All transfer students are required to take an English assessment prior to registration regardless of what English courses have already been completed. The foreign language placement test is for all students except those who have completed the foreign language requirement or have never taken a foreign language.

Does my current GPA transfer? No, only the credit hours will transfer. Your GPA will start over at Spring Hill College.  Only Spring Hill classes are figured into your GPA once you have been matriculated.

Who will be my academic advisor? Transfer students are assigned to a faculty advisor in their chosen department.  Those students who are admitted provisionally, have not chosen a major, and/or transfer less than 24 hours will be advised in the Student Academic Services Office.

What is the Transfer Seminar Course? The SAS 102 course is a non-credit seminar for all new transfer students.  The purpose is to assist new students in making a successful academic transition to the college.
