Transfer Students
Transfer students having fewer than 30 semester credit hours must meet the freshmen admission requirements as specified above.
Transfer students having successfully completed 30 semester hours or more at an accredited institution must have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (on a 4.00 scale) on all college/university coursework attempted.
Students seeking special certification courses may be admitted to complete the required certification courses based on the program requirements.
UT Tyler strives to provide guidance for prospective transfer students by outreach through community college visits, individual counseling, transfer credit evaluations, on-campus recruitment events, and orientation. UT Tyler offers transfer students scholarship opportunities to those who qualify. Transfer scholarship awards are renewable for two years and have the effect of waiving out-of-state tuition. Additional information regarding admission requirements, scholarship information, recommended degree plans, housing, student life, and athletics are all included on the UT Tyler web site: www.uttyler.edu.
Transfer Orientation
Transfer students who are transferring more than 30 semester credit hours must sign up for Transfer Orientation. Transfer students have the option to register for an on-campus or online orientation. Recognizing that transfer students already have experience taking university-level courses, this orientation focuses on helping new transfer students learn about the services, resources, and processes at UT Tyler. The orientation also provides an opportunity for transfer students to connect with other UT Tyler students.
