Transfers

We propose the creation of an “Integration & Accessibility Committee” that will be charged with finding solutions and developing policies to increase access across the campus by qualified students who are currently barred by unnecessary or excessively specific prerequisites.

We propose that schools and colleges adopt consistent GPA requirements that promote the fluid movement of students throughout Boston University. The need for further resources to handle additional students must be carefully evaluated, but where there is no compelling internship-, curricular-, licensure-, or accreditation-related argument against it, the minimum GPA required for intra-University transfer should be the same—2.0—as that for graduation. The “no resources” argument should not be used aprioristically to exclude students.
