List any other application requirements specific to transfer applicants: If a student has any transferable credits, then they must apply as a transfer student. Twelve credit are required to be considered a full transfer, and if a student has fewer than twelve transferable credit hours, then they are evaluated by both high school and college coursework for admission. A transfer student is considered assured admit if they have a 2.5 GPA with 12-23 hours, or if they have a 2.25 GPA with 24+ hours. |

Original copies of official college transcripts will be reviewed and coursework
evaluated before transfer credit will be posted to a student's permanent
academic record. Courses that may have been accepted for credit by another
institution will not necessarily be accepted by Texas Tech.
Nonvocational, college-level courses completed with a grade of D or above at another accredited institution (including courses taken on a pass–fail basis and passed) will normally be accepted for transfer. No transferred course completed with a grade below C- may be applied to fulfill course requirements in majors, minors, or specializations. Courses completed with codes indicating no grade or credit will not be transferred. This includes courses from which a student has withdrawn or received a grade of incomplete. Vocational and technical courses normally not accepted for transfer may be transferred as credit with departmental approval. However, only the student's academic dean can determine the applicability of such credit towards a degree. |
||||||
|
Transferability of courses will not be affected by a student's academic standing
(i.e., probation, suspension), but credits earned while on academic suspension
from Texas Tech University will apply to a degree plan only if approved by the
student's academic dean.
Remedial courses will not be accepted for transfer and the credit hours will not be reflected on the student's academic record at Texas Tech. Nonvocational, college-level courses from a nonaccredited institution may be posted to the student's academic record only after the student has validated the credits for transfer with the student's academic dean according to Texas Tech policy. Credit by examination will be accepted when the student provides documentation of appropriate test scores on an original score report from the national testing organization or official high school transcript. Credit is awarded according to Texas Tech University's credit by examination guidelines. |
||||||
|
Credit granted for nontraditional educational experiences by community colleges
or other universities will not be accepted for transfer. These include courses
taken at a nondegree-granting institution, life or work experience, and work
completed at specialized proprietary schools. Credit for specialized support courses such as math, science, and English intended for use in an occupational program will not be transferred. Credit hours taken at a junior or community college may not be transferred as upper-division work, even when the Texas Common Course Numbering System designation indicates similar course content. When a course has been repeated at another institution, only the most recent course and grade will be transferred and posted to the student's academic record, unless the course is designated in the institution's catalog as “may be repeated for credit.” Texas Tech will not transfer credit for any college course documented only on a high school transcript. |
