I'm considering starting my degree at Austin Community College before transferring to Texas State. Can anyone share their experience with this transition? How well were your credits and courses accepted during the transfer?
Of course! This can be an excellent way to start your educational journey before moving into a 4-year program at Texas State if planned properly. Generally, community college credits transfer pretty smoothly in the same state.
Texas State does have an established transfer policy and they are familiar with students transferring from Austin Community College. Just remember that it's really important to make sure the courses that you plan to take at ACC are transferable. Not all courses may necessarily directly match with classes at Texas State, but most of your General Education requirements should carry over without any issue.
Also, don't forget about Texas' Common Course Numbering System. It was designed to assist students in making course decisions that will transfer across institutions. It's a easy tool to help ensure your credits will transfer.
Good luck with your transition!
