Prospective Engineering transfer students are urged to become familiar with the School'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 student's major department in the School of Engineering 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, Cockrell School of Engineering, ECJ 2.200, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (512/471-4321).

• 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 School of Engineering is competitive; acceptance depends upon available space and the applicant's qualifications compared to the entire applicant pool.

• Transfer applicants must have completed MATH 2413 & 2414; admission preference is given to those who also have completed MATH 2415 and PHYS 2425.

• 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 into the University; coursework with grades lower than C do not count toward degree requirements in the School of Engineering. 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 School of Engineering, but grades and credit count toward transfer admission.

• At the discretion of the Office of Student Affairs, six semester hours in Air Force or Military Science may be applied toward a degree in the School of Engineering by students commissioned through the UT Austin ROTC program. Approved credit may substitute for three semester hours each of American government and elective coursework.

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.

• ENGL 1301;
• one Substantial Writing Component/Writing Flag course chosen from ENGL 1302 or 2311; and
• one literature survey course chosen from ENGL 2322, 2323, 2327, 2328, 2332, 2333, or 2342.

Two courses chosen from HIST/HIS 1301, 1302, 1643, 2301, 2327, 2328, 2341, and 2381.

One course chosen from ANTH 2351, ECON 2301 or 2302, GEOG 1303, PSYC 2301, or SOCI 1301.
(Students preparing for the professional practice of engineering are encouraged to fulfill this requirement with ECON 2301 or 2302.)
