ADMISSIONS AND REGISTRATION COMMITTEE PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER CREDIT REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION FROM
TWENTY-FOUR TO THIRTY
RECOMMENDATION:
| 1. |
Raising the amount of credits completed requirement to be eligible
for transfer consideration from 24 to 30. |
(The current catalog is available on the Web at http://www.utexas.edu/student/registrar/catalogs/gi04-05/index.html.)
| On page 18 in the ADMISSION chapter, under the section TRANSFER
ADMISSION, in General
Information, 2004-2005, make
the following changes: |
{No changes made.}
Eligibility. To
be eligible for transfer admission consideration, an applicant must have
| 1. |
Graduated from high school or earned a GED
|
| 2. |
Completed at least [twenty-four] thirty semester hours
of transferable credit [; thirty hours are recommended for applicants
to the McCombs School of Business]. |
An applicant who is ineligible to continue at a previous institution for
academic or disciplinary reasons is not eligible for admission to the University
of Texas at Austin. There is no probationary or provisional admission for
transfer applicants at UT Austin.
RATIONALE:
The proposed change, in effect, requires students to complete two 15-hour semesters
before being eligible for transfer consideration. This change makes
the transfer requirements consistent with the requirements for admission through
Coordinated Admission Program (CAP). As of 2005-2006, CAP required completion
of 30 hours during the fall and spring semester (this change to the CAP was
approved last academic year).
Admissions will take application from enrolled students whose total credit
hours completed in the fall semester along with any prior credits (e.g., advance
placement) and enrolled hours in the spring semester are 30 or greater. Applications
needing spring course work to meet the 30-hour minimum will be reviewed once
the spring semester transcripts are received.
