Inter-university Transfer Requirements 

Important Notice:

Pan-Atlantic University is open to offering admission to students who wish to transfer from another institution of higher learning. However, applicants should be aware that only a few transfer applicants are offered admission each year, and only if they can show clearly that, because of their past performance, demonstrated values, and experiences, they are likely to make a significant contribution to Pan-Atlantic University.

Accordingly, we seriously advise transfer applicants to apply also to other universities, as there is a significant risk that they may be denied admission in Pan-Atlantic University.

4. A transfer student should have made a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.50 on a 5.00 point scale to qualify to be considered for admission into 200 level. Students with a CGPA not lower than 1.50 may be considered for admission into the 100 level.
5. The application should be accompanied by the student’s transcript, which will be verified.
6. If at any stage irregularity is discovered in the papers presented by the students, such students shall be withdrawn from the University.
