* Admission for transfer students applying to majors or concentrations (Natural Sciences or Environmental Science) within the Department of Biological Sciences will be based on GPA and successful completion of a prescribed set of courses.
*** BISC majors who appear to be eligible for Year 3 and request concentrations can be sent to faculty for review. UPO will verify that additional required courses have been completed - if student meets admitting GPA, file will be returned with faculty indicator of 'admit.' UPO will HOLD files where gpa is below admitting standard, and send back as admissible or inadmissible as admitting averages are lowered.
