Transfer of Credits

To transfer credits from another post secondary institution to Texas County Technical Institute, the student must provide an official transcript and catalog course description from the school attended. Transfer credits must have been earned from a post secondary institution recognized by the US Department of Education. Transfer grades must be a "C" or higher, and courses must be applicable to Texas County Technical Institute's course content. To be granted a certificate or associate degree, a student must complete a minimum of 50% of a program's total credit hours with TCTI. Transferred grades are not computed in the student's grade point average, and thus, do not affect satisfactory academic progress.

Consideration for transfer of credit hours earned over five years prior to admission to TCTI will require a review and evaluation by the Registrar and appropriate program director. Nursing directors will evaluate nursing specific courses for transfer acceptability.

Advanced placement credit for the professional nursing bridge will be awarded on a case by case basis. Determination is made by evaluating practical nursing courses with course equivalences in the ADN program. Transfer credit is not awarded for advanced placement. Advanced placement credit will be shown on a student's transcript as 'hours earned', not 'hours attempted', and no quality points will be awarded, nor will grades earned in the advanced placement credit courses be figured into the cumulative grade point average.

Any transferability of credits from Texas County Technical Institute to another post-secondary school is entirely up to the receiving school. Students are encouraged to discuss transferring of credit with that institution.
