Based on ACE recommendations, the courses will be articulated as lower or upper level. Courses designated as vocational will not be articulated. When possible, courses will match a course offered by Tarleton State University. If not possible, the course will be designated as not matching course and the student will seek departmental approval for specific degree fulfillment. 

Linked is an overview of courses that will transfer. Please contact Transfer Services with questions.

Quarter Credit Hours Policy

College-level academic courses transferring from a regionally accredited institution that operates on a quarter system will be converted to semester credit hours. One quarter credit hour equals 2/3 of a semester credit hour. The total of the quarter credit hours per course will be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, a four-quarter credit hour course will transfer as a three-semester credit hour course (4 X .67 = 2.68 rounded to 3).
