Whether transferring from a junior/community college or a four-year institution students must meet eligibility requirements for admission to undergraduate study, unless entering under the special admission category:

1. Prior college level transfer credit is required.
2. Students enrolling with less than 60 semester credit hours will be admitted as degree-seeking (if desired), but should complete a Petition for Special Admission form. Students must also meet minimum GPA and Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requirements.
3. Students must submit official evidence prior to enrolling  that they have satisfied the Texas Success Initiative (TSI). See TSI Requirement in the general catalog or schedule. Students who are allowed to enroll pending receipts of official TSI documentation will be withdrawn from the University is satisfactory TSI documentation is not received by the first class day of the semester.
4. Degree-seeking students with 75 hours or more must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or above on all course-work attempted to be eligible for unconditional admission. Students who have less than 75 hours with a cumulative GPA between 1.75 and 2.00 may be admitted on Probation. Such students must maintain a 2.00 GPA each semester to continue enrollment and will remain on Probation until the overall GPA reaches 2.00.
5. Students on academic or disciplinary suspension (or "not in good standing") from another institution are ineligible for admission to A&M-Texarkana until their designated suspension (or "not in good standing") period has passed. If the student registers for classes at A&M-Texarkana during a period of suspension from another institution and gains admission by giving false information to the Office of Admissions, the student will be withdrawn from all classes without refund of tuition and fees. The student may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for admission prior to the end of the suspension period upon presentation of a written statement from an appropriate institutional representative of the university where the student was suspended. The statement must indicate that the institution would recommend early reentry. In cases of disciplinary suspension, the Vice President for Student and Academic Support Services will appoint a committee to review the student's application for admission. The VP-SASS may then refuse admission based on the committee's recommendation or his own review of the case. Admission may be refused if the university determines:
   
   
   1. The student would not abide by the rules and regulations of the University or has been unable to adjust to the University environment, or
   2. A serious intent to pursue an education is not indicated, or
   3. The student might harm other members of the University community. Cases of expulsion (or suspension without time limit) will be reviewed on an individual basis. Appeals will be handled by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
      
      
6. In order for the institution to collect and evaluate data mecessary for state and national accreditation standards, new students may be required to take a standardized examination during the first semester of enrollment.
