Each college\u2019s requirements for admission are listed in the college\u2019s section of the catalog. Students who are not in Good Academic Standing (who do not have a 2.0 Overall and Marshall GPA) may have to remain in their present college until they return to Good Academic Standing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exception:<\/strong> Individuals who are returning to the university from one or more years of active military duty may enter the college of their choice, provided they meet that college\u2019s entrance requirements.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"CreditEvaluation\">Credit Evaluation<\/h2>\n<p>To see an up-to-date Degree Evaluation, log in to <a href=\"http:\/\/mymu.marshall.edu\/\">MyMU<\/a>.
