Advising for transfer students

Transfer students are students who have never attended UTB-TSC and have earned college hours at another postsecondary institution.  This category will include both students who transfer in to pursue a degree at UTB-TSC and also transient students who enroll for only one semester.       

Transfer Students

  • Transfer students will be advised initially at the Academic Advising Center.
  • If no transcipt evaluation of course work is available, the advisor will recommend courses for the first semester, if possible.
  • Once a transcript evaluation is completed and the student has declared a major, they will be advised to see an academic advisor in the discipline area to work on a program of study.
  • Students will be required to abide by UTB-TSC policies regarding assessment, TSI
       policy, developmental course sequences, and prerequisites.

Transient Students

  • Transient students will be advised at the Academic Advising Center.
  • Students will be responsible for contacting their advisor at their home institution to seek approval to register at UTB-TSC and to verify transferability of courses.
  • Students will be required to abide by UTB-TSC policies regarding assessment, Texas Success Initiative policy, developmental course sequences, and prerequisites.
