Violation of this regulation will be considered a serious offense and may result in the student’s dismissal. Transfer applicants who have completed less than 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of transferable credit must also submit an official high school transcript and may elect to submit the results from the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Students academically suspended from other institutions of higher education ordinarily will not be permitted to enroll at Dakota College until one semester has elapsed since their suspension or until the suspending institution would reinstate them. However, exceptions to this regulation may be made on an individual basis. Prospective applicants who wish to enroll at the college before their period of suspension has elapsed should contact the Student Services Office. The admission of transfer credit is based on work which is comparable to that at Dakota College or of such a nature as to prepare students to continue in an equivalent program at the college. Other courses will be evaluated regarding their applicability to the student’s major area. 4.
