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 Texas community college 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 Texas community colleges 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, Military, or Naval 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 1312, 1412, or 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 (or 1306 for nonnative English speakers);
• one Substantial Writing Component/Writing Flag course chosen from ENGL 1302, 2311, or 2314; and
• one literature survey course chosen from ENGL 2321, 2322, 2323, 2326, 2327, 2328, 2331, 2332, or 2333.

Two courses chosen from one of the following combinations:

GOVT 2301+2302, 2305+2306, 2301+2305, or 2301+2306.

(Because community colleges organize the two-course legislative requirement sequence differently, it is strongly recommended that students take both courses at one institution.)

One course chosen from ANTH 2351; ECON 2301 or 2302; GEOG 1303; PSYC 2301; or SOCI 1301, 1306, or 2339.

Part I &ndash a two-course sequence in one discipline, chosen from

ASTR/PHYS 1403+1404;
BIOL 1406+1407, 1408+1409, or 2401+2402;
CHEM 1411+1412;
GEOL 1401+1402 or 1403+1404; or
PHYS 1401+1402, 1405+1407, or 2425+2426.

Part II &ndash a third course in a second discipline, chosen from those above and from

ANTH 2301, 2302, or 2401;
CHEM 1405, 1406, 1407, or 1408;
COSC 2336 or 2436;
GEOG 1301; or
GEOL 1445 or 1447.
MATH (excluding 1314, 1414, and credit used for the core mathematics requirement) is also applicable, but after credit in any calculus course is earned only courses for which calculus is a prerequisite can be counted.

(Community colleges may number lecture & lab credit separately, for example CHEM 1411 may be offered as 1311 & 1111. Combined lecture & lab courses are applicable, though lab credit is not required.)

One course chosen from ARCH 1301, 1302, or 1311; ARTS 1301, 1303, or 1304; DRAM 1310, 2336, 2361, or 2362; HUMA 1315; or MUSI 1306 or 1310.

Four semesters in a single language, chosen from courses numbered

1311, 1411, or 1511 (1st semester);
1312, 1412, or 1512 (2nd semester); and
2311 & 2312 (3rd & 4th semesters).

American Sign Language can also be counted for this requirement and is recommended especially for students majoring in Communication Sciences & Disorders:

SGNL 1301, 1401, or 1501 (1st semester);
SGNL 1302, 1402, or 1502 (2nd semester); and
SGNL 2301 & 2302 (3rd & 4th semesters).

Two courses chosen from HIST 1301, 1302, 2301, 2327, 2328, and 2381.

For the BS degrees in Advertising and Public Relations:

the necessary course is not offered by community colleges. Students should defer enrollment in mathematics coursework until transferring to UT Austin.

For all other degrees: one course chosen from

MATH 1324; 1325 or 1425; 1332; 1342, 1442, 2342, or 2442; 2312 or 2412; 2313, 2413, or 2513; or 2417.
