What's the maximum number of credits I can transfer to a university? 

Generally, with our Texas universities, the maximum number is 66 credits; however, that number can change depending on the university. Check with the university you’re transferring to for the most accurate information.  

What is the minimum GPA requirement for transfer students?

Check with the university you’re transferring to. You’ll look for admission requirements for transfer students not incoming freshman. Another key factor when transferring- certain majors or programs within a college may have a higher GPA requirement than the general transfer admissions- plan accordingly.  

I’ve been to several different colleges; can I just send my most recent official transcript?

When transferring to other colleges/universities, students need to send official transcripts from each institution they’ve attended.  

Can I just apply whenever to my transfer university?

Students need to be mindful of admission deadlines for universities. Applications and supporting documentation need to be submitted by the deadline. If students have courses in-progress when your official application is sent, another official transcript will need to be sent when final grades and/or degrees awarded have posted.
