Prospective Communication transfer students are urged to become familiar with the College's curricula and rules in the Undergraduate Catalog 2008-2010.

Students who transfer directly from a Texas community college may choose to graduate under UT Austin catalog rules in effect during the time they attended the community college; those declaring the 2008-2010 catalog must complete all degree requirements by the end of the summer session 2016. At least sixty semester credit hours must be completed at UT Austin to earn an undergraduate degree.

Prospective students can monitor their UT degree progress – even before transfer – and check degree applicability of A.C.C. courses by using the “Planner” function of UT's Interactive Degree Audit (IDA) system.

The Office of Admissions evaluates courses from other institutions for comparability with UT Austin coursework, but the Dean's Office in the College of Communication approves transfer credit for use in a degree program.

• Questions concerning degree/graduation requirements and degree applicability of transfer credit should be directed to the Office of Student Affairs, College of Communication, CMA A4.140, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (512/471-1553).

• Questions concerning transfer admission and transfer credit evaluation should be directed to the Office of Admissions, MAI 7, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (512/475-7387).

• Due to enrollment limitations, admission to the College of Communication is highly competitive; acceptance depends upon available space and the applicant's qualifications compared to the entire applicant pool.

• No more than 12 semester hours of transfer credit in the student's major department may be counted toward a degree in the College of Communication; no coursework in the major may be taken on a pass/fail basis.

• Core curriculum transfer credit from A.C.C. is guaranteed to apply toward UT core requirements, but degree plans may specify how some core requirements should be fulfilled. Recommendations in this Guide satisfy core requirements with courses normally required by a student's major field of study at UT.

• Courses in which grades lower than C− are earned do not transfer. Grades from transfer credit are excluded from a student's internal UT Austin grade point average computation.

• Physical education activity courses do not apply toward degree requirements in the College of Communication, but grades and credit count toward transfer admission.

• Up to nine semester hours in Air Force or Military Science may be applied as elective credit toward degrees in the College of Communication by students commissioned through the UT Austin ROTC program.

The University requires all students to have completed two years of high school study in a single foreign language. Transfer students who do not meet this requirement are assessed a foreign language deficiency; removal of deficiencies is required for graduation. To remove a deficiency, credit for the second college-level course in a language (numbered 1512) is required. Credit used to remove a deficiency cannot be applied toward other degree requirements. Prospective students should complete coursework needed to satisfy a foreign language deficiency prior to transfer.

GOVT 2305 & 2306.
(Because A.C.C. and UT Austin organize the two-course legislative requirement sequence differently, it is strongly recommended that students take both courses at one institution.)
