High School Courses
Dual Credit
At many high schools, students take college courses through their local community college that also count toward their high school
diploma. These courses are commonly referred to as dual credit courses, because the student receives both high school and college credit
for the courses. To have dual credit courses transfer to Texas A&M, the student must submit to Texas A&M University an official
college transcript that lists the completed college courses.
The Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) has been designed for the purpose of aiding students in the transfer of general
academic courses between colleges and universities throughout Texas. The TCCNS complete guide may be viewed online at
www.tccns.org. The complete table is also available in Appendix B of the
Texas A&M University Undergraduate Catalog, which is online at catalogs.tamu.edu. Before using
the table, students should be sure that the institution they attend employs the TCCNS.
