Texas Core Curriculum Guidelines
If a student successfully completes the 45 semester credit hour core curriculum at an institution of higher education, that block of courses may be transferred to any other institution of higher education and must be substituted for the receiving institution's core curriculum. A student will receive academic credit for each of the course transferred and may not be required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution unless the board has approved a larger core curriculum at that institution.
A student concurrently enrolled at more than one institution of higher education will follow the core curriculum requirements in effect for the institution at which the student is classified as a degree-seeking student.
A student who transfers from one institution of higher education to another without completing the core curriculum of the sending institution will receive academic credit within the core curriculum of the receiving institution for each of the course that the student has successfully completed in the core curriculum of the sending institution. Following receipt of credit for these courses, the student may be required to satisfy the remaining course requirements in the core curriculum of the receiving institution.
Each institution must publish and make readily available to students its core curriculum requirements stated in terms consistent with the "Texas Common Course Numbering System".
