Transfer students from another university or two-year college who qualify for full admission into OSU, or students transferring into the Computer Science Department from another Oklahoma State University College or Arts and Sciences Department can be admitted as a Computer Science major providing they meet the following standards:

• must have a minimum overall GPA of 2.0 and
• must have taken and maintained a 2.5 GPA for the following courses, with no course grade less than “C”:
1. CS 1113
2. CS 2133
3. MATH 2144
4. MATH 2153

CS majors whose semester GPA is below 2.0 or 2.5 for their major, core courses  will be placed on departmental academic probation, regardless of their overall GPA.  Students on CS departmental probation must complete a minimum of 9 hours at Oklahoma State University with a GPA of 2.5 or higher to have their probationary status removed.  Students who are not able to have their CS probationary status removed following the completion of a minimum of 9 hours (or the entire semester’s work, if more than 9 hours) will not be allowed to enroll again as an undergraduate major in the CS regardless of their overall GPA.

A student who experiences a catastrophic event that plays a significant role in his or her being placed on CS academic probation has the right to appeal the situation to the Head of the Computer Science Department.  With a successful appeal, a student will be given a semester to raise their GPA to the minimum level both overall and/or in their major, core courses before any probationary action is taken.
