Transfer students with more than eighteen non-developmental hours must meet minimum GPA and course eligibility requirements (see Section I of “Rules and Regulations” in this Catalog).
Students who do not meet the stated criteria but who wish to attend UL Lafayette are invited to apply for Admission by Committee. In reviewing these applications the University’s Undergraduate Admissions Committee looks beyond the basic numeric criteria and gives particular attention to factors such as the quality of the student’s high school curriculum, high school rank, special talents, extracurricular activities, teacher recommendations, leadership abilities, and membership in an under-represented group. In all cases, the Committee’s overriding consideration will be the student’s potential to succeed in the UL Lafayette academic environment.
Adult students over twenty-one who do not meet the stated criteria are admissible under several other admission programs. First-time freshmen who are over the age of twenty-five can be admitted through the 25 Plus program which requires only a high school diploma or General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Applicants aged twenty-one through twenty-four who have earned a high school diploma or GED can be admitted either as degree-seeking part-time students or as non-degree-seeking DOORS students.
