Transfer Students

A maximum of 68 credit hours may be transferred from accredited two-year or four-year institutions consistent with the academic objectives of Austin College. Credits presented from other institutions in which the student earns a grade of C or higher will be converted to course credit units at the rate of four semester hours equal to one Austin College credit. No official credit evaluation can be offered until official transcripts from all colleges attended have been submitted to the Office of Admission. An evaluation of transferable credits and determination of subsequent requirements for graduation from Austin College can be made prior to matriculation through the Office of the Registrar.

Austin College has formed pathway agreements with several community colleges in Texas. Please visit ‘Roo Tracks for more information.

Austin College students are most successful when they immerse themselves in our vibrant community. Transfer students have many residential options at Austin College. For more details, visit Residence Life.

At Austin College, academic advising takes on a whole new dimension. Our faculty serve as true mentors to our students. As a transfer student, you will have a faculty mentor to help maximize the many experiential learning opportunities available to you and to point you toward post graduate success.

A successful transition for transfer students starts with a strong orientation. Your orientation experience at AC includes meeting with current transfer student leaders, key support staff, as well as your faculty mentor. Our goal is to prompt you to start considering participating in our experiential programs right away. Once you are admitted, more information on orientation will be forthcoming.
