JUCO Transfer To a D1 4 Year School

pitcher - I do not believe that a coach cares if you have 48 hrs or your associates degree as long as you're eligible, have the skills he's looking for, and fit his program. They would look at your GPA just as they did coming out of HS. Hopefully, you've done well in the classroom.

if you have the transferable credits with a 2.00 plus gpa. AND they want you is the key.if you have the degree they don't need to push for you in admissions.it's all up to the coach. but it is easier if you have your gegree. good luck

Is it possible to transfer to a Divison I after only one year at a Junior College?

Yes it is possible after one year but you would have to have been a qualifier out of high school and you must also have enough transferable hours to be considered a Sophomore.

Thanks for the response.

Yes, he is qualified. I will have to check on the number of hours a sophomore needs to transfer.

Does the DI you are transferring to determine the hours needed or is that a NCAA requirement?

HowUBe - A JUCO kid needs 24 transferrable hours per NCAA reqs. Most JUCO kids will have way more than that. My son had 36.5 hours to transfer from JUCO. 19 hours transferred immediately. The rest including a sociology class may end up being electives. That's where the problem enlies is HOW they transfer.

BUT bottomline, is they need at least 24 hours regardless of how they have to be used towards his degree at the four year.

Hope that makes sense!

I would assume LAFMOM is talking about after one year at JUCO. It would be 48 hours after your 2nd year. Wow, thats alot of hours MOM (36.5)for just one year. Must be a community college or a juco on a quarter system.

The 24 and 48 credits thing is Semester hours.

Sorry about that. Vance would be correct. I was replying to HowUBe's question about how many were needed for a kid after one year to transfer to NCAA school.

Vance - Nope. His JUCO was semesters. He had 24 "real" hours in my mind! The other 12.5 hours were things like "Sports Officiating: Basketball, Circuit Fitness Training, etc." Those are the type of hours that if accepted by second school will end up being electives. A player doesn't want to end up from JUCO after one year or two years with all of his hours being basketweaving, etc. I think the transferring hours issue becomes more of a challenge though after two years there. Like I said, with just the one year it was pretty easy to transfer hours with majority going for "real" credits.

lafmom,

Thanks for the info.

The NCAA requires 12 credit hours per semester attended at the JUCO, and they do not consider summer session.

Whether the credits transfer is determined by the individual school. Some colleges accept passing grades of D, some don't. Some programs accept transfer classes that others don't.

Also, some universities have entrance requirements that are not addressed by the NCAA. For example, North Carolina state universities require 2 full years of foreign language prior to acceptance, regardless of whether you are transfering or applying as a freshman.
