Associate of Science program at OCC in the semester immediately preceding the desired entry term at
SU.

pursuant to this Agreement. SU and OCC will determine by mutual agreement the programs students
are eligible to enter based on their GPA at time of transfer.
4. Each OCC student seeking to transfer to SU pursuant to this Agreement who graduates with a GPA of
3.25 or above and duly applies to SU as described herein will be awarded a minimum of $10,000 in
