Admission decisions

Transfer admission decisions are made by each college and department and are competitive; thus, admission standards are not known until the review for admission occurs. Preference is given to the applicant with the highest grade point ratio (GPR) and the most courses completed in the Degree Track for the major designated on the application. See the college-specific information for the college of the major for which you are applying.

1. Official transcripts from all colleges attended, including colleges where dual credit was earned prior to high school graduation, must be received as part of an official application by the closing date of the application period to be considered for transferable course credit. Credit will not be granted when the official transcript is received later.
2. Grades for all transferable courses are used in the computation of the GPR. This includes:
   
   • Failing grades, repeated courses, WF, Incompletes, etc.
   • Grades reported as Incomplete are computed as Fs.
   • Plus and minus grade designations are not used; C+ is computed as a C, B- as a B etc.
3. Credit by examination courses which are transcripted from other colleges or universities may be transferred if sequential course work with credit is also indicated. If there is evidence that the credit by examination courses are part of the student’s program of study at that institution, credit will be awarded for those courses that meet the transfer guidelines.
4. If admitted to Texas A&M and currently enrolled at another institution, at least a 2.0 GPR on course work in progress during that semester (excluding summer terms) immediately prior to enrollment at Texas A&M is a condition of admission.

A minimum of 36 semester hours of 300- and/or 400-level course work, with a minimum of 12 of the course hours in the major, must be successfully completed in residence at Texas A&M University to qualify for a baccalaureate degree.
