<strong>Transfer</strong> Fast Facts<br />

••<br />

<strong>Transfer</strong> students with less than 60 earned hours are advised in Undergraduate Studies located in the Charles F. Moore<br />

Building.<br />

••<br />

<strong>Transfer</strong> students with 60 or more earned hours are advised in the Academic Departments.<br />

All transfer students are required to take the Undergraduate English Proficiency Examination. It is administered each semester<br />

<strong>and</strong> each summer session.<br />

All transfer students are required to have 30 hours of community service per year prior to graduation.<br />

••<br />

After earning 62 semester hours from any accredited institution, a student may not take additional courses at a<br />

community or/junior college <strong>and</strong> have them applied toward a degree from <strong>Jackson</strong> <strong>State</strong> University.<br />

••<br />

No more than 93 semester hours may be transferred from an accredited four-year institution.<br />

••<br />

<strong>Jackson</strong> <strong>State</strong> University uses the Articulation Agreement between the Mississippi Board of Trustees of <strong>State</strong> Institutions of<br />

Higher Learning <strong>and</strong> the Mississippi <strong>State</strong> Board for Community <strong>and</strong> Junior Colleges.<br />

••<br />

Grades earned in transfer courses will be shown on the permanent record at <strong>Jackson</strong> <strong>State</strong> University with a “T” in<br />

grade point averages.<br />

••<br />

Students usually receive no transfer credit for courses designed specifically for technical <strong>and</strong> vocational career<br />

programs. The dean <strong>and</strong>/or chair of the department concerned should be consulted on questions pertaining to the<br />

transfer of credits.<br />

Frequently Asked Questions by <strong>Transfer</strong> Students<br />

Who is my Academic Advisor?<br />

<strong>Transfer</strong> students with less than 60 hours are assigned an advisor in Undergraduate Studies. <strong>Transfer</strong> students with 60<br />

or more earned hours or an associate’s degree are assigned an advisor in their academic departments.<br />

How important is it to connect with my Academic Advisor?<br />

Very! Your Academic Advisor is a professional assigned to you to assist with your course selection in preparation for<br />

graduation. Your advisor is also there to aid with class selection or deletion, semester registration, approval of absentee<br />

excuses, etc. Connecting with your advisor is a key element in becoming <strong>and</strong> remaining successful at JSU.


How do I know which of my credits transferred?<br />

JSU utilizes the Articulation Agreement between the Mississippi Board of Trustees of <strong>State</strong> Institutions of Higher<br />

Learning <strong>and</strong> the Mississippi Board for Community <strong>and</strong> Junior Colleges. The university usually allows full<br />

credit for a course taken at another accredited institution if a comparable course is offered at JSU. <strong>Jackson</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

University accepts transfer courses with “C” grades or better.<br />

Are Vocational Courses transferable to JSU?<br />

Students usually do not transfer credit for courses designed specifically for technical <strong>and</strong> vocational career<br />

programs. The dean of the college should be consulted on questions pertaining to the transfer of credits.<br />

Why are there multiple GPAs on my transcript?<br />

Grades earned in transfer courses may be shown on the permanent record at JSU but will not be used in<br />

calculating JSU grade point average. <strong>Transfer</strong> credits have a separate GPA from your JSU GPA.<br />

What is a JSU SuperCard?<br />

The <strong>Jackson</strong> <strong>State</strong> University SuperCard is a multipurpose card. It functions as an identification card for all<br />

students, faculty <strong>and</strong> staff. It must be visibly worn at all times. The JSU SuperCard <strong>Program</strong> works almost exactly<br />

like your regular debit card. The card gives students, faculty, <strong>and</strong> staff access to funds within their accounts to<br />

purchase goods <strong>and</strong> services from participating merchants, even off campus.<br />

How do I activate my SuperCard?<br />

You are welcome to apply for a card account by completing an application in the ID Center. You can deposit<br />

funds into your SuperCard account by visiting Financial Services on the 2nd Floor of the B.F. Roberts building at<br />

the cashier’s station. For more information on your SuperCard, visit http://www.jsums.edu/supercard/.<br />

What is the procedure for changing my major?<br />

You can obtain a change of major form from your Academic Advisor within Undergraduate Studies in the<br />

Charles F. Moore Building (CFM). This form will be forwarded to the JSU Registrar’s office to finalize your<br />

request for change of major.<br />

How do I know my JSU email address?<br />

Visit the JSU homepage at http://www.jsums.edu. Click on the link entitled “email.” Click on the icon that states<br />

“First Time Email Users – Information.” This will walk you step-by-step on specific instructions regarding your<br />

email address.<br />

How do I access online library services? What fulltext<br />

journal services are available?<br />

<strong>Jackson</strong> <strong>State</strong> University subscribes to many online journals. Go to library@jsums.edu or stop by the H. T.<br />

Sampson Library to speak with any of the valuable resource persons eager to assist you. To access the journal<br />

databases from off campus, you will need your J Number <strong>and</strong> password.<br />

If I have any more questions or concerns specifically<br />

concerning a transfer student…<br />

You may contact Jennifer E. Scott-Gilmore, Coordinator of Transition, in the Charles F. Moore Building, Rm.<br />

214, by phone at 601.979.3339 or email at transferservices@jsums.edu.
