There is not a maximum number of transferable credits; however, college courses with earned grades of C or higher (excluding developmental) can be transferred to the university. Your college/school academic advisory department will confirm what transfer courses/grades and how many will apply to your degree program.

All official transcripts must be submitted to the university after the application for admissions has been submitted. Please contact our office for specific assistance regarding the use of unofficial transcripts.

You can call the Transfer Admissions Department at 713-313-1398 or contact a transfer admissions advisor or the manager to schedule an appointment

We must document all previous schools enrolled on your admissions record for admissions and financial purposes. This includes schools enrolled with a withdrawn or non-attendance status. Official transcripts, withdrawal and/or non-attendance letters must be provided for each school listed/confirmed

If you are admitted and have not registered, an admissions advisor can change your major/degree program upon your request. If you have registered for classes with an advisor and have a schedule, you must visit the Registrar office to change your major/degree program.

Transcript evaluations are conducted once the final official transcript has been received (or the only official transcript has been received). Processing times may vary. Standard Timeframe: 3-5 business days from the date of the final transcript received. Disclaimer: During high-traffic times, processing times may vary up to 7-10 business days from the date of the final transcript received.

You may visit the Transfer Center and complete a Service Request form for all transfer re-evaluation requests. All grade change requests forms must be submitted with supporting documentation/approval by Assistant Dean/Dean of academic department at your college/school and submitted to the Manager of Transfer Admissions.

Eligibility: If you have credits for college courses taken ten or more years prior to the planned enrollment date, those credits (and grades) can be ignored for enrollment purposes under the "Academic Fresh Start" Law. The Director of Admissions is the final authority on applying or interpreting your right to an Academic Fresh Start.

If you have taken classes through dual credit, you are considered a freshman applicant/student. Please make sure to submit your official transcript from the institution where you have received dual credits.

You may not start over as a freshman applicant if you wish not to include any classes previously taken at another institution. We must document your course history at each institution attended with the transfer courses/grades eligible according to the transfer admissions requirements.

You can meet with a transfer advisor to discuss the credits that are eligible for transfer and/or have transferred to the university. You should schedule an appointment with a department advisor within your college and/or school to discuss what credits may apply to your degree program.

We will transfer the eligible courses as lower (100-200) level courses. Once you are admitted and meet with your academic advisor, your advisor will confirm what courses will apply as upper and/or lower level courses within your degree program.

The last course taken/grade received will be updated in the system and recorded by a transfer evaluator. However; your academic advisor can confirm which grade will apply to your degree program by contacting the transfer admissions department and submitting the required documentation and approval.

Students do not have the option to select specific courses to transfer to Texas Southern University. All courses eligible for transfer at the time of transcript evaluation will be documented on the student’s record. However; all courses transferred may not apply to your degree program. Your academic advisor will confirm what courses will apply to your degree program at the time of registration.
