Second Year Quota Admission Criteria
How Do I Get In?
U of L Transfer Program
Fall Spring
CHEM 1000 CHEM 2000
CPSC 1620 ENGG 2060
ENGG 2000 MATH 1410
MATH 1560 MATH 2560
Elective PHYS 2130
Admission Criteria1. Session GPA• combined average of first & second terms - (Sept - April) • includes ALL grades• minimum required 2.0
2. Courses Passed• total first year load = 40.0 units• minimum required = 30.0 units
Both of these conditions must be met
Course Transfer Credit
Minimum grade of C-
Quota Selection AverageQSA = Session GPA - Light Load Adjustments
• Normal first year load = 38.0 units• Adjustment applied if < 37.0 units
attempted• Course still included in load even if
failed
QSA Example
• Session GPA = 2.5• Did Not Take Elective• Course = 3.0 Engineering Units (U of A)• Load Carried : 38.0 - 3.0 = 35.0 • 37.0 - 35.0 = 2.0• Light Load Adjustment • 2.0 x 0.05 = 0.1• GPA - adjustments = QSA
2.5 - 0.1 = 2.4
