Transfer

You are considered a transfer student if you are interested pursuing a bachelor’s degree at UTSA and have earned some college credit from either a community college or university after graduating high school or earning a GED.

This is a common misconception from our transfer students – there is not a minimum number of credits you need before you transfer to UTSA. However, there is a maximum from a community college: our students cannot apply more than 66 transfer credit hours to their program to UTSA as per the UTSA policy as well as the percent of courses needing to be completed at UTSA for your degree.

The AlamoPROMISE to UTSA Bold Promise is a tuition promise program that aims to make college more accessible and affordable to AlamoPROMISE students who transfer to UTSA and meet certain eligibility criteria. Qualifying students will have their tuition and mandatory fees covered 100% for four fall and spring semesters within a 2-year time period, as long as students maintain eligibility.   Students do not have to apply separately for this program. Bold Promise is automatically awarded to qualified Texas residents who meet the program qualifications.   To learn more about qualifications visit: https://onestop.utsa.edu/financialaid/types/alamo-promise/

There is not a fee waiver for the transfer application. All students must pay the non-refundable application fee.

A WIP stands for “Work In Progress” transcript. This means your transcript reflects that you are currently enrolled in classes at the time that you submitted your application. It is perfectly fine for you to be enrolled in classes at the time that you apply, too! We will be aware of your enrollment and there is not a penalty for applying with WIPs.

You can submit your application either through GoApplyTexas or through the CommonApp.

Please note that GoApplyTexas is utilizing a new website, so if
you used it previously, you may need to create new account.

You can find out which credits will transfer to UTSA using our transfer credit calculator.

Pro tip: have your most up to date transcript with you while you use the calculator, you will need to reference course numbers etc.

If you need further assistance and/or if the transfer credit calculator does not provide sufficient information, please reach out to our Transfer and Transition Student Success Office at utsa.edu/studentsuccess/transfer

If your application is considered “incomplete” this means we are needing additional documentation/items from you. In order for admissions to review your application, your application must be considered “complete.” Your myUTSA Admissions portal will list what items are outstanding.
