2009-2010 Academic Catalog - Queens University of Charlotte

29
Admission
The University operates on a rolling admissions basis. Beginning in September of each academic
year and bi-weekly thereafter, completed applications are presented to the Admissions
Committee for action. Generally, applicants are notified of the University's decision within 30
days of receipt of a completed application.
Accepted applicants are requested to notify the University of their decision to attend as soon
as their University plans are firm or by May 1. Students should reserve their place in the incoming
class by sending a tuition deposit of $300. This deposit is applied toward tuition for the applicable
term and is refundable until May 1. Students admitted after May 1 will have 30 days to
notify the Undergraduate Office of Admissions if they plan to attend. The tuition deposit is nonrefundable
after May 1.
Alumni Admissions Representatives
Local alumni representatives are available to talk with prospective students in a number of cities
throughout the country. Their names and addresses may be obtained from the Undergraduate
Office of Admissions.
Campus visits
Prospective students and their families are encouraged to visit Queens. They are welcome at
any time, but will find visits more beneficial if they are scheduled when the University is in
session. The Undergraduate Office of Admissions is open from 8:30am-5pm on weekdays
throughout the year and on selected Saturdays each month. Each year a series of visitation
days are scheduled for prospective students and parents. Interested students should write,
visit our web site (www.queens.edu), or call the Office of Admissions (800 849-0202) for
further details.
Transfers
Queens welcomes transfer students from other regionally accredited colleges and universities.
They may apply for admission for fall, spring or summer term. Applicants must provide an official
transcript from each high school they have attended and they must forward two official transcripts
from each college they have attended to the Queens University of Charlotte Undergraduate
Office of Admissions. Transfer applicants must also submit a Statement of Good Standing
form from the Dean of Students at the last college or university in which they were enrolled.
If a student is transferring to Queens with fewer than 24 transferable credit hours, they must
provide an official copy of their SAT or ACT scores. Transfer students are expected to have
followed the recommended high school curriculum and to have maintained a minimum 2.000
average on a 4.000 scale in previous college work. For liberal arts and sciences courses completed
at other accredited institutions, credit usually will be transferred if the grade earned is
C or better. Courses transferred from two-year institutions are classified as either 100- or 200-
level courses.
Queens University of Charlotte participates in the comprehensive articulation agreement
between the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Community College System.
