What is a second-degree student?
A student who has earned a baccalaureate degree from Coastal Carolina University or any other accredited institution who wants to earn a second baccalaureate degree.
How do I apply as a second-degree student?
You should submit the Transfer/Second-Degree Application online* and submit it to the Office of Admissions & Merit Awards along with the $45 application fee. You will also need to submit official transcript(s) for any post-secondary institution(s) you attended. If your first baccalaureate degree is from Coastal Carolina University, no additional transcripts are required. Second-degree applicants are evaluated based upon the criteria for transfer admission candidates.
* As part of the application, all applicants are required to submit complete responses to a series of non-academic admissions review questions. Applicants must satisfy the non-academic admissions review portion of the application before the application file is reviewed or an admission decision made. The non-academic admissions review process supports the University's goal of maintaining a safe learning community.
Am I eligible for federal financial aid?
All students receiving Title IV Federal aid and some forms of private aid are required to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. A student's status is calculated based on the cumulative grade point average and percentage of attempted courses that have been successfully completed. Federal regulations limit a student's eligibility for federal aid to 150% of the student's program requirements. Students who have attempted at least four semesters of enrollment at Coastal Carolina University are required to maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to remain eligible for Title IV Federal aid.

College and department contact information is available at https://www.coastal.edu/academics/colleges/. If you are admitted as second-degree candidate and you received your first undergraduate degree from another university, you must attend new student Orientation where you will meet with your academic adviser and register for classes.
