Do I need permission to take a class at another college?
No, not at this time.
How do I know if a course will transfer into UT as a specific course and satisfy a degree requirement?
By using the Automated Transfer Equivalency System (ATE), you can find out how a course transfers into UT from a Texas Public Institution.
Please use the Student Planner before you take the course to verify the course will transfer into UT and satisfy a degree requirement.
- Examples on how to search for a course and see if it satisfies a degree requirement is located here.
What if I want to take a course in a different state?
You may request transfer credit evaluations for courses by filling out and submitting the Texas Admissions Pre-Evaluation Form.
Where can I take some college courses in Austin?
- Austin Community College: https://www.austincc.edu/admissions
- Austin Community College course schedule (choose credit courses, not continuing education): http://www6.austincc.edu/schedule/
- University Extension Self-paced Courses: https://extension.utexas.edu/self-paced-courses
The institution I want to take classes at is requesting a UT transcript, how do I get one?
Please visit the Texas One Stop website for information.
How do I transfer the course credit back to UT Austin?
After you’ve completed the course, please send an official transcript from that institution to the UT Office of Admissions.
Courses in which grades lower than C− are earned do not transfer. Grades from transfer credit (except UEX courses) are excluded from a student's UT Austin GPA computation.
What are some possible transferrable course options for UT Core Requirements?
Here are some potential options, but not all courses may be offered at the other college.
Equivalents vary for each College and may not satisfy UT Core requirements, so please use the Student Planner before you take the course to verify the course will transfer into UT and satisfy a degree requirement.
