University of Missouri- St. Louis & St. Louis Community College Dual Admissions Program Statement of Intent to Participate General Guidelines Students who have earned at least 24 semester hours of transferable college-level credit and meet all other University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) transfer admission requirements and St. Louis Community College (STLCC) admission requirements are eligible to participate in the dual admissions program (hereafter DAP). First-time college students who enroll at STLCC and meet UMSL’s first time college student admission requirements are also eligible to participate in DAP concurrent with their admission to STLCC. By signing this statement of intent at the time of your admission to UMSL and STLCC, you are indicating your intention of participating in the UMSL Dual Admissions Program. As a participant in the dual admissions agreement, you are subject to the same admission, matriculation, and degree requirements governing all other UMSL and STLCC students. This agreement stipulates admission to UMSL, rather than to a particular college of major. Admission to a major requires approval on an official declaration of major form, a procedure necessary for all UMSL students. Once you have been admitted to the UMSL/STLCC Dual Admissions Program, you are strongly encouraged to attend a Dual Admissions Information session given by an UMSL representative on the STLCC campus. Eligibility To continue participation in the joint program, you must be admissible to UMSL at all times, maintaining a 2.00 (on a 4.00 scale) cumulative GPA. Your eligibility for continued study at either UMSL or STLCC will be governed by each institution's policies on enrollment of probationary, dismissed, and reentering students. As a student participating in the Dual Admissions program, you will be defined as a degree-seeking student at UMSL and will be considered to be converted to sole enrollment at UMSL once you have completed and been awarded a transfer associate degree. Your subsequent progress toward the baccalaureate degree will be governed solely by UMSL academic standards. To graduate with Latin honors from UMSL, a minimum of 56 graded hours must be completed. Academic Advising Knowing the important role that academic advising plays in a student's college success, counselors and advisors at STLCC and academic advisors at UMSL are available to assist in tailoring your program to meet your long-term educational goals. An integral counterpart to academic advising is the degree audit report sent to you each semester by UMSL. Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) is a statement of your progress toward completion of UMSL's academic undergraduate education requirements, specific to your major. It indicates how your courses taken at STLCC will transfer to UMSL in your intended major program. If you change your major, you will need to notify your academic counselor and/or advisor at STLCC and your UMSL Transfer Coordinator. Once this change is conveyed to UMSL's Office of the Registrar, your records will be updated so that the requirements in the DARS report reflect your new major. When the change has been processed, you may request a degree audit of all completed coursework. Terms of Agreement Should you become inadmissible to UMSL or withdraw from STLCC, this agreement will be canceled. At any time before completion of your transfer associate degree, you may end the dual admission agreement and officially transfer to UMSL or any other institution of higher education under the usual procedures. This Statement of Intent to Participate form will also serve as a Release of Information that authorizes the institutions to share appropriate admission, financial, academic and advising information concerning the enrollment and performance of the student.
