<p>I'm a transfer student. Freshman at UT Arlington, looking to transfer to Austin in Fall 09. UT requires 30 completed credits for transfers right? at the end of spring I will have 27 credits completed AT my current school (12 fall, 15 spring) but I also took a community college class fall 2007 while I was still in high school that was a computer course (it takes the place of BCIS i think) and it was 4 credits. At UT Arlington, my advisor said presently I have 16 credits complete, since that community college class transferred as a T on my transcript. I even made an A in the class. So then by time I finish in the spring, will UT look at this as 31 credits complete for them to look at?? Or do I have 27? I'm so lost and I really hope I can still apply.</p>
<p>You'll want to check with someone in admissions to be sure, but as I understand it, you should be fine. You need 30 college hours of transferable work, which you will have after the spring semester is complete. It seems odd the way your current school handles the previous credit.</p>
<p>Is it odd? How do colleges normally handle previous college credit? I just know my previous credit transfers, it just isn't calculated into GPA. And in case it wasn't clear, the 16 credits is me entering the spring semester with 16 credits already complete (the 4 from the cc class and the 12 from my school).</p>

<p>If you are transfering, it will be fine as long as you have 30 collegiate credits, regardless of where you are from.</p>
<p>If you are in CAP you MUST have 30 credits at UTA or you will not be admitted to UT Austin. You absolutely have to have the 30 credits and you have to have the 3.2, no exceptions or you will not be admitted to UT Austin.</p>
<p>I said it was odd in that they don't count it in the total number of hours, or it didn't sound like it. I transferred into UT with 30 hours credit. UT calculates my GPA only on my UT coursework but still shows my total credit with the 30 transfer hours as well. </p>
<p>theloneranger makes a great point about CAP restrictions though. Are you a CAP student?</p>
<p>UT-Arlington does add transfer hours with hours you take at campus, but like you said not gpa. And no I am not a CAP student, so that rule doesn't apply to me. I was offered CAP but I didn't accept it because of family reasons and they offered me money.</p>
