Collaborative Admission Agreement SMITH COLLEGE (MA) Transfer students from Santa Monica College are encouraged to apply to Smith College, a private, competitive, liberal arts college for women located in western Massachusetts. In order to make the transition as smooth as possible, this COLLABORATIVE ADMISSION AGREEMENT details the guideline for admission and credit. Talented students have transferred to Smith from Santa Monica College and we are looking forward to increasing those numbers. This Collaborative Agreement serves as an advising tool by detailing some general information about transfer as well as by providing a list of courses which are transferable to Smith College. GRADE POINT AVERAGE Students likely to be admitted normally have earned a GPA of 3.2 or better in liberal arts courses. CREDIT Smith has no core curriculum nor does it require any specific courses to be taken toward the degree. Consequently, the transfer of credit is much simpler for entering transfers. A maximum of 64 credits (the equivalent of 2 full years' worth) is transferable. In order to earn a Smith degree, transfer students must spend at least two years in Northampton and accumulate at least 64 credits. Students are required to complete a major and, in addition, earn at least 64 credits outside of the major department. Credits transferred may fulfill major and non major credit. Credit toward the major is granted only at the discretion of the department. Transferable courses from Santa Monica are listed on an attached sheet. Grades of C and above are acceptable. The current catalog, available in the Santa Monica Transfer Center, will detail specific requirements for major departments. FINANCIAL AID Smith awards financial aid on the basis of documented need. In fact, since 1984 the college has been able to meet the documented need of all admitted transfers and will make every effort to continue this level of support. ON CAMPUS HOUSING A space in one of Smith's 36 residence halls is guaranteed for each entering transfer. Traditional transfer students may request nonresident status because of very unusual circumstances, but the option of living offcampus is not normally granted. Ada Comstock Scholars have the option of living either off campus or oncampus.
ADMISSION INTERVIEWS While not required, interviews are strongly encouraged and are very helpful for both the applicant and the admission officer. If you are unable to visit the Smith campus, an alumna living in the Santa Monica area will be happy to meet with you. In addition, when an admission counselor visits Santa Monica, every effort will be made to conduct on site interviews. An interview (phone or campus) is required for all Ada Comstock Scholars. Women who are at least 24 years old or are veterans or have a dependent other than a spouse must apply to the college through the Ada Comstock Scholars Program. Spaces are very limited and competition for admission varies from year to year. The Program offers assistance with re entry, childcare and housing options in addition to academic advising. Interested students are encouraged to obtain more information by contacting: The Ada Comstock Scholars Program, Smith College, Northampton, MA 01063, 413 585 3090. This agreement was established in December 1993 and was updated in September 2011. The coordinators of this agreement, Estela G. Narrie, Articulation Liaison Counseling at Santa Monica, and Debra Shaver, Senior Associate Director of Admission at Smith, will advise students who are interested in transfer. For more information about Smith, please visit our web site at www.smith.edu.
The following courses, with grades of C and better, are acceptable for degree credit at Smith College. A comparable course with equivalent subject matter covered will not be granted subsequent credit. No credit is awarded for courses taught online. No credit is awarded for independent study unless approved by the department concerned (students must submit a detailed description of completed work). If the course content of any class changes after this agreement has been written, Smith College must be notified by the Santa Monica transfer counselor in order to review the course and possibly revise the decision about acceptability for credit.
