Any undergraduate student with greater than six attempted credit hours, excluding remedial (0-level
courses or pre-college work) and excluding credit hours accumulated by concurrently enrolled high
school students is considered a transfer student.

An Oklahoma state system student who wishes to transfer from another state system institution may
do so under the following conditions:

1. If the student originally met both the high school curricular requirements and academic performance standards of the institution to which he or she wishes to transfer, he or she must have a grade point average high enough to meet Western’s retention standards, or
2. If the student originally met the high school curricular requirements but not the academic performance standards of the institution to which he or she wishes to transfer, he or she must have a grade point average high enough to meet the institution’s retention standards to which he or she wishes to transfer, based on at least 24 attempted semester credit hours of regularly graded (A, B, C, D, F) college work;
3. If the student originally met the performance but not the curricular requirements of the institution to which he or she wishes to transfer, he or she must have a grade point average high enough to meet the institution’s retention standards to which he or she wishes to transfer defined in policy on retention and the policy on transfer probation and must also complete the curricular requirements before transferring;
4. If the student originally met neither the curricular nor the performance requirements of the institution to which he or she wishes to transfer, he or she must have a grade point average high enough to meet the institution’s retention standards to which he or she wishes to transfer, based on at least 24 attempted semester credit hours of regularly-graded (A, B, C, D, F) college work and must also complete the curricular requirements of the institution to which he or she wishes to transfer before transferring

Undergraduate students wishing to transfer from an out-of-state college or university to an institution
in the state system may do so by meeting the entrance requirements of the receiving institution as
outlined in the admission policy and by the following:

1. Each non-resident applicant must be in good standing in the institution from which he or she plans to transfer.
2. Each non-resident applicant must have made a satisfactory (an average of “C” or better or meet this policy’s current retention standards, whichever is higher) in the institution from which he/she plans to transfer.
3. Transcripts of records from institutions not accredited by a regional association may be accepted in transfer when appropriate to the student’s degree program and when the receiving institution has had an opportunity to validate the courses or programs.
4. Each non-resident undergraduate applicant who meets the above requirements will also be required to validate the transferred credit by making satisfactory progress (an average of “C” or better) for at least one semester.

Students wishing to add or drop courses from their schedule after the add/drop period must obtain an add/drop form from the Office of Admissions and and Records. The student should visit with the Office of Financial Aid first to receive instruction on how adding or dropping classes will affect their financial aid. Students are responsible for obtaining the required signatures from instructors, the Office of Financial Aid, and the Office of Admissions and Records Records for the classes to be officially added/dropped. The student must then go to the Office of Business Affairs to complete the transaction. Students must prepared to make, at minimum, payment arrangements for any unpaid balances at this time.

Withdrawal from classes must be student-initiated and is not automatic due to non-attendance or failure to pay for tuition and fees. The student should visit with the Office of Financial Aid first to receive instruction on how withdrawing from classes will affect their financial aid. Students wishing to totally withdraw from college must do so officially by going to the Office of Admissions and Records and securing an add/drop form. The student is responsible for obtaining the required signatures from instructors, the Office of Financial Aid, the Office of Admissions and Records, and the Office of Business Affairs. After all the appropriate signatures are obtained, the form must be returned to the Office of Admissions and Records for the student to be withdrawn. The student must then visit the Office of Business Affairs to complete the transaction. Students must be prepared to make, at minimum, payment arrangements for any unpaid balances at this time.
