• Freshman and sophomore college-level courses completed at regionally or nationally accredited institutions will transfer provided that a grade of at least “D” (1.0) is earned and the course is similar in content and learning outcomes to the work offered at Angelina College.
  • Upper-level coursework will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
• Angelina College utilizes the US Department of Education’s website to determine accreditation of colleges/universities (https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home)
• The office of the Registrar will work with the academic departments to determine the acceptability of prior coursework.
  • Coursework from Texas Public institutions will be verified through the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) for equivalency.
  • Coursework from Out of state and private institutions will be evaluated through the use of course descriptions and syllabi (when provided).
    • The student will be notified if AC is unable to verify course content. The student would then be required to provide a course syllabus for review of equivalency.
  • Workforce/technical courses can be evaluated for equivalency upon student request. The Academic Dean would determine courses that will meet equivalency requirements.

• All successful transfer coursework will be listed on your AC official transcript.
• This does not indicate that the course will be used to fulfill a degree requirement.
• Students can check their AC Portal – Degree Audit or speak with a Student Success Coach for courses that have been evaluated and an equivalency determined.

You must complete a minimum of 25% of your course requirements at Angelina College. For an associate degree requiring 60 credit hours, 15 of those credit hours must be completed at Angelina College.

Your grades will appear on your Angelina College transcript, but transfer coursework is NOT calculated into your Angelina College GPA.

Angelina college will work with you on determining equivalencies for older courses. If you have more specialized courses, like computer technology much of the technology may be obsolete or changed. In all cases, collecting course syllabi and assessments to be presented during the assessment would be helpful.

Academic Fresh Start gives students who have attended Angelina College the option of having coursework taken 10 or more years prior to the starting date of the semester to be eliminated from computation of the grade point average (GPA).  This is an “all or nothing” option.  You are not able to pick and choose which courses to ignore and which courses to count. If you choose the “Academic Fresh Start” option, you will not receive credit for any of the courses taken 10 or more years ago.

Once this election is made, that coursework cannot be used to meet degree or prerequisite requirements, though the coursework remains on the student’s record.  A notation will be added to your transcript indicating that you have elected to do the Academic Fresh Start.

 Academic Fresh Start is not considered with financial aid calculations.

The online form is found on the AC Portal, Student Tab, Student Forms. Once submitted, the form is reviewed and processed by the Registrar.

Any student may audit a course by completing the online form PRIOR TO the official census date of the semester (see AC Master Calendar or AC Academic Calendar).

Auditing students may attend classes, but WILL NOT EARN CREDIT for the audited course.

Once a student chooses to audit a course, they cannot later ask to receive credit.

The admission process and tuition and fees are the same for students auditing courses as those for credit enrollment.
