Admissions

Transfer from Another College

A student in good standing from another college or university may be admitted by transfer of credits.  “Good standing” means that students should be eligible to return to the collegiate institutions from which they transferred.  Students on academic or disciplinary suspension from the last school attended will be considered for admission to Western Texas College on an individual basis only as stated in the Special Admission policy.

To be admitted to Western Texas College after attendance at another college, students must make formal application and present a complete official transcript of their entire college record, including admission units.  It is the responsibility of students to arrange for transcripts from former institutions attended to be sent to the Office of the Registrar, and the admissions office.

The Texas Common Course Numbering System is a voluntary, co-operative effort among Texas community colleges and universities to facilitate transfer of freshman- and sophomore-level general academic coursework.

The TCCNS System provides a shared, uniform set of course designations for students and their advisors to use in determining both course equivalency and degree applicability of transfer credit on a statewide basis. When students transfer between two participating TCCNS institutions, a course taken at the sending institution transfers as the course carrying, or cross-referenced with, the same TCCNS designation at the receiving institution.
