Transfer Students within U.S.

Applicants to A&M-Central Texas who have attempted graduate-level credit at another regionally accredited U.S. institution after attaining a bachelor’s degree will be considered transfer students. Applicants must be eligible for re-enrollment at their last attended college or university and must submit final official transcripts from each college or university attended. For students who have previously attended A&M-Central Texas, both transfer work and A&M-Central Texas work will be combined to determine a cumulative GPA. Transferred developmental and similar non-college credits will not be used to determine the required GPA for transfer admission eligibility.

In accordance with Texas House Bill No. 699 and the Campus Save Act/Clery Act, A&M-Central Texas provides mandatory orientation/training on the university's sexual assault policy.  This orientation/training is mandatory for all incoming and transfer students. Students will receive the required training information in their student email within the first two weeks of class.
