Common Transfer Credit Issues

Government
Courses offered to satisfy the legislative requirement are organized differently throughout Texas, and combining credit from different institutions may not completely fulfill the requirement.

Core Curriculum
Applicability of transfer credit toward core requirements depends on the transfer evaluation and – for coursework from other Texas public colleges or universities – a course's core status at the original institution.

Calculus
Instructional patterns vary among institutions and may not directly equate with UT sequences on a course-for-course basis.

Biology
Beginning major-track courses at other institutions are not always comparable to UT's introductory sequence, which was revised in fall 2005.

E 316K
Not all sophomore-level literature surveys are equivalent to UT's required course.

Substantial Writing Component / Writing Flag Credit
The SWC normally is satisfied with UT coursework, and applicable transfer credit is limited.

Computer Science & Management Information Systems
CS and MIS are distinct curricula at UT, but often overlap or are combined at other institutions.

MIS 310
The computer applications course required for Business.

Credit by Examination
Placement credit earned at another institution may transfer depending on how it is transcripted.

Workforce Credit
Vocational/technical coursework from community colleges generally does not transfer.

Military Training & Experience
Armed services educational activities may yield limited UT transfer credit.
