Transfer of Credit

Community college courses may not transfer into TAMUCT as upper-division courses (3000-4000 level), even though

TAMUCT may have an upper-division course with exactly the same name and description. Community college courses may

not be used to fulfill the upper-division requirement for graduation at TAMUCT. However, the course may be used as a

substitute for an upper-division course with an approved substitution form signed by the chair and dean.
