Grad Transfer Question

[Tugg Speedman]

Can a transfer who graduates then become a grad transfer?

Example (illustrative only, I'm not suggesting this will happen)

Steve Taylor transfers to UIC and has to sit out a year.  In that year he accumulates enough credits to graduate (transferred from MU and taken at UIC.)  If so, at the end of next year can he become a "free agent" and transfer again as a grad transfer and play that fall?  Of course he would do this while take a year's worth of scholarship money from UIC without ever playing for them. (again just using this as an illustration, not suggesting this will happen.)

I thought of this because it seems his name does not pop up with any school except UIC.  He's been mentioned with UIC for weeks and has not announced he going there.  So I assume he's looking for something else/anything else.  

Following this thought ... If Steve Taylor wants to transfer and has to sit a year.  Why not transfer to a state school in order to graduate and then open up to be a grad transfer at the end of next year?  Of course this assumes his family has the financial ability to pay and he has accumulated enough transferable credits that he can graduate in one year.

I don't see why he couldn't transfer.  It would be similar to what Uthoff did when he transferred from Wisconsin after one year of free schooling during a redshirt freshman year.

Like all Graduate Transfer Waivers, it would require a letter from the UIC saying it does not object to Steve being eligible at the next school.

None of this may matter. Seems like MU has struck out on every grad transfer who could have been a contributor.

What does that have to do with Steve Taylor, Jr.?

Just skimmed over the initial post. Didn't catch the STJ references. My bad.

I would think he could go anywhere and not accept a scholarship and then transfer to another school. Did Burton get a scholarship to Iowa St? In the back of my mind he had to pay for last semester.

I think this question requires more precision.

Can a transfer who graduates then be eligible for the graduate transfer exception? The answer there is no. This is because it's a one-time exception. If you've previously transferred, you're no longer eligible for the graduate transfer exception.

Instead, you'd need to pursue a graduate transfer waiver. This is where another school who had been paying for your year in residence could take great exception and not be open to the waiver.

So... is a graduate exception available? No. Graduate waiver? Yes, but could be dicey.

...and, my hope is both will be gone by this time next year. I favor an additional year on the clock for grad transfers.
