A current listing of academic advising centers can be found at https://www.tamuct.edu/Advising/academic-advising.html
  • Refer to the official source of information on specific courses within the Texas A&M University - Central Texas requirements for this degree plan from the Texas A&M University - Central Texas Undergraduate Catalog or visit the web site at www.tamuct.edu
  • Pay close attention to course sequencing and availability at Texas A&M University - Central Texas as it will affect the time it takes to complete the degree program.

Transfer of Credit

Community college courses may not transfer into TAMUCT as upper-division courses (3000-4000 level), even though TAMUCT may have an upper-division course with exactly the same name and description. Community college courses may not be used to fulfill the 45-hour upper-division requirement for graduation at TAMUCT. However, the course may be used as a substitute for an upper-division course with an approved substitution form signed by the chair and dean.

Affordability

Based on 2018-2019 reported average tuition and fees, Texas A&M University-Central Texas is the second most affordable institution in the state of Texas for full-time undergraduate students.  Students are not only able to take advantage of guaranteed tuition plans to control the cost of their education, but A&M-Central Texas’s Bachelor Bonus caps tuition and mandatory fees at 12 semester credit hours.  Learn more at https://www.tamuct.edu/business-office/tuition-fees.html.

Texas Education Code § 54.014 specifies that resident undergraduate students who initially enrolled fall 1999 and later may be subject to a higher tuition rate for attempting excessive hours at any public institution of higher education while classified as a resident student for tuition purposes. For more information, please see http://catalog.tamuct.edu/undergraduate-information/funding-limit/.  Please note that the requirements regarding the hours used to calculate a student’s eligibility for $1,000 Tuition Rebate vary significantly from the requirements determining excessive hours.
