Official transcripts must be delivered in sealed envelopes to the Office of the Graduate School, or emailed by secure electronic transcripts exchange (e.g. eScrip-Safe, National Student Clearing House, Parchment, or Credentials Solutions) from participating institutions directly to admissions@tamuct.edu.

Contact information is available from the Graduate School.

Transfer Students within U.S.

Applicants to A&M-Central Texas who have attempted graduate-level credit at another regionally accredited U.S. institution subsequent to attaining a bachelor’s degree will be considered transfer students.

To be considered for admission, applicants must meet the re-enrollment criteria of their most recent educational institution and furnish official transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended.

For individuals who have previously been enrolled at A&M-Central Texas, both transfer credits and coursework completed at A&M-Central Texas will be amalgamated to calculate a cumulative GPA. It's important to note that developmental coursework and similar non-college credits from transfers will not be factored into the calculation of the requisite GPA for eligibility for transfer admission.

Sexual Assault Prevention Training

In compliance with Texas House Bill No. 699 and the Campus Save Act/Clery Act, A&M-Central Texas mandates orientation/training sessions regarding the university's sexual assault policy. This orientation/training is compulsory for all incoming and transfer students. Students will receive the necessary training materials via their student email within the initial two weeks of the semester. Failure to complete this mandatory training will result in students being unable to advance from one semester to the next until the training requirement is fulfilled.
