Prospective Liberal Arts 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.

Special Notes
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. College Algebra (MATH 1314) counts as elective credit but does not satisfy the mathematics requirement in the College of Liberal Arts. Physical education activity courses do not apply toward degree requirements in the College of Liberal Arts, but grades and credit count toward transfer admission.

Use of Transfer Credit Toward Degrees
The Office of Admissions evaluates courses from other institutions for comparability with UT Austin coursework, but the Dean's Office in the College of Liberal Arts 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 Student Division, College of Liberal Arts, GEB 2.306, UT Austin, Austin TX 78712 (512/471-4271). 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).
