Admission : Admission Requirements for Transfer Students

Please note: students who are not transferring or have not been out of high school for more than a year should refer to the new student admission requirements.

Students are considered transfer students if they have attempted eight semester (or 12 quarter) hours after high school at a regionally accredited college or university other than UT. Students currently in high school with post-secondary credit are not transfer students and new student admission criteria apply. Students not meeting the admission standards may be required to participate in the ASE program and may be able to appeal the admission decision.
