Application Review Criteria

• Readmit applicants must have a minimum 2.0 USC GPA. Some colleges and majors require higher GPAs for all college coursework. Refer to the readmit GPA requirements by major for details.
• Readmission is not automatic. In some cases, students may be required to petition their academic department. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will notify you if this is necessary.
• Students who attended another institution after leaving USC must also meet transfer GPA requirements. USC and transfer GPAs are reviewed separately.

Note: Final decisions regarding transfer credit are determined by the deans of the university’s colleges and schools.
