A student who transfers into an undergraduate degree program shall not be requiredto complete a greater number of credit hours in those courses which are required for graduation from such undergraduate degree program than are required of students who began in such undergraduate degree program, nor shall there be any minimum number of credit hours required post-transfer other than the normal degree requirements for nontransferring students; and
The grade point average which is required for a student to apply for and be fullyconsidered for transfer into an undergraduate degree program shall be no higher than that which is required for graduation from such undergraduate degree program.
