How do I navigate Texas A&M College Station's transfer equivalency?

I'm considering transferring to Texas A&M College Station from my current college. Can anyone explain the transfer equivalency process and how I can ensure my credits will transfer smoothly?

Texas A&M University - College Station uses an online tool called the Transfer Course Equivalency website which allows you to navigate the transfer process and understand how your credits may transfer over. Please note that using this tool guarantees neither that the course will be offered nor that you will necessarily receive credit. Final determination of transfer credit acceptance is ultimately made by the Office of Admissions.

Here's a simple step by step on how to use the system:

1. Visit the A&M Transfer Course Equivalency website.

2. Once there, select the state and university for which you want to view the course equivalencies.

3. A list of courses at the selected institution that have a direct equivalent at A&M will appear. If a transfer equivalency is listed, these credits should be accepted as indicated, provided you received a grade of C or better.

Remember, transfer credit evaluation is the final step of the admission process, occurring after a decision and your acceptance of the admission offer. Official transcripts from all colleges or universities should be submitted to complete this process.

If your college or courses are not listed, it doesn't necessarily mean that the courses won't transfer. But in that case, you may have to provide course descriptions or syllabi for evaluation.

Also, keep in mind that not all transfer credits will apply to your specific degree plan at A&M. It's a good idea to review the degree plan for the major you are interested in and compare it against your completed coursework. Even if a course transfers, it might not fulfill the requirements for the major you've chosen.

Lastly, the most reliable path to ensuring that your credits will transfer is to work closely with academic advisers at both institutions. They can offer substantial help in guiding you through the process and address any specific concerns to your situation. Good luck!
