Transfer Applicants
For application purposes, a transfer student is defined as "a student who has successfully completed 24 or more semester hours of credit (post-secondary school completion) at a regionally accredited institution prior to transferring to U. T. Permian Basin."
The University is committed to the recruitment and retention of transfer students. Direct Connect and other articulation agreements with community colleges across the state and participation in the Texas Common Course Numbering System simplify the transfer of credit to UT Permian Basin. The University provides a Transfer Admission Counselor who assists with prospective transfer applicants and an Academic Advisor for Transfer Students who assists students with degree plans prior to and after enrollment. The University provides transfer merit scholarships to assist academically qualified transfer students in making UTPB a more affordable choice. This next section outlines the admission requirements and transfer procedures. If any questions arise regarding the transferability of courses, please contact the Office of Admissions at 432-552-2605 for further assistance.
Transfer Admissions Requirements
Transfer students seeking admission, who have accumulated fewer than 24 schs, will be considered for admission under the criteria established for freshman admission (See Freshmen Admission Requirements) and must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher in the college-level courses.
Transfer students seeking admission, who have accumulated 24 schs or more from regionally accredited colleges or universities (post-secondary school), must meet the following entrance requirements:
- Submit to the Office of Admissions, official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended. All documents submitted become the property of UT Permian Basin and will not be returned to the student.
- Must have a 2.0 grade point average or better on a 4.0 grading system in previous college work.
- Must not be on academic or disciplinary suspension from any previously attended college or university (be eligible to re-enroll in the colleges or universities previously attended).
A transfer applicant from a non-accredited institution may be considered for conditional admission by the Admissions Review Committee. A transfer student admitted conditionally must achieve a grade point average of 2.0 or above for the first 30 hours of course work undertaken at UT Permian Basin and is subject to academic dismissal at any time the grade point average falls below 2.0.
