The Transfer Admission Guarantee assures admission to the university. Students must follow the rules of admission of their intended major department to be admitted into the major. The Transfer Admission Guarantee does not apply to applicants to the School of Nursing, Music and Dance, Television, Film and New Media, or Theatre. Students must plan to take any required course not offered by their institution at another local community college or at SDSU through CSU Cross Enrollment or Open University. Attendance at local community colleges will be verified by the National Clearinghouse. Therefore, students who misrepresent institution attendance will have their admission revoked. Students who are not eligible for the Transfer Admission Guarantee will be ranked based on the extent to which they have completed the requirements listed above. SDSU will admit via this ranking until all available enrollment slots have been filled. Student Transfer Center Director Date Date
