Transfer Students

Thank you for choosing the Alamo Colleges! We are glad you have decided to transfer.  At the Alamo Colleges, a transfer student is any student who has completed previous college work at a regionally accredited college or university after graduating from high school.  We are looking forward to creating opportunities for your success! 

Recognized Accreditation Associations 

Credit may be transferred to the Alamo Colleges from colleges and universities regionally accredited by one of the following associations: 

Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools  

New England Association of Colleges and Schools  

North Central Association of Colleges and Schools  

Northwest Association of Colleges and Schools  

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools  

Western Association of Colleges and Schools  

The Alamo Colleges do not accept credit from institutions not regionally accredited by one of the above associations.  Traditional classroom instruction and credit by examination are the basis on which transferred credit is recognized.  Transfer credit may meet graduation requirements if equivalent to the Alamo College’s courses. 

Grades Acceptable for Course Transfer 

The Alamo Colleges accept any passing grade from any accredited institution.  Passing is a grade of “D” or better.  Only those courses in which a “D” or better has been earned may be applied to meet the requirements toward a certificate or degree, and only those technical courses in which a “C” or better has been earned may be applied to meet the requirements in the major field of study.  This policy applies to all degree plans. 

Full Academic History Disclosure  

Transfer students are not at liberty to disregard any part of their past collegiate record and apply for admission on a partial college record or solely on the basis of a high school record.
