Transfer Admission Requirements
Transfer students having successfully completed 30 semester credit college hours or more at a regionally accredited institution must have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) on all college or university work. (Transfer students having fewer than 30 semester credit college hours must meet the freshman admission requirements.)
Application: Submit a completed undergraduate application for admission.
Application Fee: A non-refundable $25 application fee is required for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. A non-refundable $50 international application fee is required for all non-U.S. citizens. Applications will not be processed without the application fee.
Transcripts: Official transcripts are required from each college or university attended. Photocopies and faxed transcripts will not be considered for final admission. Course work from one college posted on the transcript of another college will not be considered for final admission. Transcripts more than 60 days old from the print date will be considered unofficial.
TSI: Texas Success Initiative: Unless a student is exempt, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) requires all undergraduate students entering a public college or university in Texas to be assessed for readiness to enroll in freshman-level academic coursework. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has approved the following four testing instruments to be used to determine a student's readiness to enroll in college-level courses. The UT Tyler Testing Center offers the THEA and ACCUPLACER tests. Check their web site for more information.
Transfer Credit: Credit earned at other accredited colleges or universities may be transferred by students presenting official transcripts describing such credit. Courses are acceptable for transfer at the level at which these courses were classified by the institution granting the credit.Only courses in which a student has earned a grade of "C" or better will be acceptable for transfer. The only exception will be if a student transfers to UT Tyler core complete from another college or university, and the transferring institution recognized a "D" as satisfying its Core Curriculum requirements.
College Credit by Examination: Credit by examination may be established through testing programs such as the Advanced Placement Program (AP), the College Level Examination Program, (CLEP) and International Baccalaureate (IB). Guidelines for credit by examination are listed below. CLEP, AP, and IB credit received from a prior college or university will transfer as credit was awarded.
