Transferring from a Four-Year College/University Expand

As you consider transferring from your current institution, you will have the assistance of the Office of Admission and a faculty mentor to guide you in the process.

Your counselor in the Office of Admission will be able to provide your a preliminary evaluation of how your credits will transfer and discuss the various academic pathways available to you at Austin College. Upon completion of your application for admission and receipt of your official college transcripts, the Registrar's Office will provide you an official transfer equivalency report.

Then you will have a faculty mentor assigned to you to help maximize the many experiential learning opportunities available to you and to point you toward post graduate success.

We encourage you to set time to visit campus, or connect with our transfer counselor to begin the conversation about making Austin College your new community.

Transfer Credit Policy/Evaluation Expand
  • 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.
Residential Community Expand

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.

Academic Advising/Orientation Expand

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. 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. 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.
