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.

the state of Texas for full-time undergraduate students.  Students are not only able to take advantage of guaranteed tuition plans to control

the cost of their education, but A&M-Central Texas's Bachelor Bonus caps tuition and mandatory fees at 12 semester credit hours.  Learn

more at https://www.tamuct.edu/business-office/tuition-fees.html.
