Full Admission

Students who meet all undergraduate admission requirements at the time of application (minimum of 30 academic college-level transferable semester hours, minimum 2.0 cumulative transfer GPA, and eligible to return to all previously attended institutions) are granted full admission. Students who are seeking an Applied Science or Aviation Science degree may meet the admissions requirement for full admission by utilizing select workforce education credit from an approved Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree upon completion of 45 hours, to include all general education courses within the AAS. 

Non-Degree Seeking Admission

Non-degree seeking admission is available to applicants seeking to enroll at A&M–Central Texas who do not wish to pursue an undergraduate degree (at any institution). Students may desire to enroll as non-degree seeking to meet leveling requirements for a graduate degree, for micro-credentials, or for personal or professional development. Students categorized as a non-degree seeking are not restricted to one semester and are not required to reapply each semester. Applicants pursuing non-degree seeking admission must meet the same application requirements as those seeking full admission to the university. They must also provide the same documentation as students applying for full admission. Non-degree seeking students must be eligible to return to each previously attended institution and, if admitted, are not eligible for financial assistance. Students admitted as non-degree seeking who later wish to pursue a degree at A&M–Central Texas may do so; however, they must complete the regular admission process and meet all general admission requirements.

Transient Admission

Transient admission is available to students pursuing a baccalaureate degree at another college or university who seek to enroll at A&M–Central Texas for only one semester. Transient admission is restricted to one semester (including summer), and students must reapply each semester. Applicants seeking transient admission must meet the same application requirements as those seeking full admission to the university. They must also provide the same documentation as students applying for full admission. Transient students must be eligible to return to each previously attended institution and, if admitted, are not eligible for financial assistance. Students admitted as transient who later wish to pursue a degree at A&M–Central Texas may do so; however, they must complete the regular admission process and meet all general admission requirements.

Post-Baccalaureate Admission

Students who have a prior bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. institution and are eligible to return to all previously attended institutions may seek post-baccalaureate admission. Post-baccalaureate students may work on a subsequent bachelor's degree or teaching certification. To be considered for post-baccalaureate admission, students must complete an ApplyTexas application and submit an official transcript from all previously attended institutions. Applicants must meet general admission requirements. Note: Undergraduate academic standards apply to post-baccalaureate students.

Prior Academic Suspension and Reentry Eligibility

Applicants who were previously placed on academic suspension or dismissal at another institution must be eligible to return to that institution in order to be considered for admission to A&M–Central Texas. If an official letter or documentation confirming reentry eligibility is available from the prior institution, it must be submitted as part of the admission review process.

In cases where such documentation is unavailable, the applicant may submit a written request for review in lieu of the reentry documentation. The request should include a statement explaining the prior academic circumstances and any evidence of subsequent academic performance. A&M–Central Texas will review the available academic record to determine eligibility for admission. Submission of a request for review does not waive the transfer admission requirements and does not guarantee admission. 

Undergraduate Admission Appeals

Applicants who are denied admission and choose to appeal the denial can do so by directing appeal requests to the university registrar and executive director of Records and Admissions. The university registrar and executive director of Records and Admissions may then take the appeal to an Admissions Appeal Committee to make the final decision.
