Overview

A student is considered a transfer student if they have completed any college coursework from a post-secondary institution after graduating from high school. To be considered for admission, a student must have achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 in common transferable courses and meet a level of math proficiency consistent with the standards set by CSB and SJU. A student who has not yet completed 28 semester credits will be evaluated on both high school and college performance. Students who have credits earned through Post-Secondary Enrollment Option should apply as high school senior applicants.

Block transfer acceptance for two-year college students

► Accepts Associate of Arts degree*
► Accepts Minnesota Transfer Curriculum*

* CSB and SJU accept completion of the MnTC or AA degree from a regionally accredited Minnesota college as a block to satisfy our foundational Integrations Curriculum requirements. There are additional Integrations Curriculum requirements that remain to be completed, many that are often attached to other general education or major/minor courses. In order to receive credit for those requirements, the courses must have been completed with a grade of ‘C’ or higher. In addition, we have developed 2+2 pathway options in a number of disciplines and continue to expand those options.
