Texas Common Course Number
System (TCCNS)
The Texas Common Course Numbering
System (TCCNS) aids students in the
transfer of general academic courses between Texas public colleges and universities throughout the state. Course recommendations in this transfer guide
are expressed in TCCNS designations.
Applying Transfer Hours to a
Four-year Degree
▪ The Transfer Evaluation Office in the
Office of the Registrar at Texas Tech
determines which courses taken at
another institution may be accepted
for credit.
▪ The academic associate dean of the
Texas Tech college in which a student enrolls has authority for determining which courses will be applied toward the specific degree
program chosen.
▪ Students must earn a grade of C or
better for all courses fulfilling requirements in majors, minors, or specialization's.
▪ A maximum of 66 semester credit
hours from two-year institutions
may be applied toward the baccalaureate degree at four-year institutions. Although, all credit hours presented on the sending institution's
transcripts will be evaluated and
equivalent college level courses posted to the student's academic record.
