Can Angelina College credits transfer to University of Houston?

I'm currently studying at Angelina College and was wondering if my credits would transfer smoothly to the University of Houston. Has anyone been through this process or know if UH is generally accommodating with transferring credits from Angelina?

Sure, the process of transferring credits from a community college such as Angelina College to a 4-year university like the University of Houston is common. However, there are several factors to consider, and the smoothness of the transition can depend on those factors.

Firstly, the University of Houston typically accepts credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Angelina College is a regionally accredited institution, so that's a good start.

Secondly, not all courses or credits may be transferable. It typically depends on how closely the courses align with the degree program you intend to pursue at the University of Houston. Courses that are closely related to your intended degree are likely to be accepted. However, more specialized or non-general education courses may not be.

Each college within the University of Houston has specific course prerequisite requirements which can be fulfilled by the equivalent course at the community college. If a course does not precisely match up, then it may not be transferable.

The best way to determine how your credits will transfer is to speak with an admissions counselor or academic advisor at the University of Houston. Additionally, the University of Houston offers an online credit transfer tool, where you can enter your courses from Angelina College to see if they will transfer over.

Remember, even if some credits transfer, you will still need to meet the University of Houston's residency requirement. This typically involves a minimum number of credits that must be earned directly from the institution in order to graduate.

Lastly, it's recommended to start this process as early as possible, as transferring credits can take time and may require various paperwork. You don't want this process to delay your progress towards your degree.

So, while I can't give a definite answer, given that Angelina College is regionally accredited, chances are good that most if not all of your credits will be accepted. For a more accurate prediction, it's best to consult with an advisor from the University of Houston or use their online credit transfer tool.
