Reverse Transfer
The Reverse Transfer process was established by the Texas Legislature in 2011 to help students who transfer from a public community college to a public university receive an associate degree as they successfully complete coursework. Texas public universities are required to identify, track, and follow up with each student who has:
- Earned at least 30 SCH at a community college and
- Completed a total of 60 SCH.
Once a student meets these requirements, the university – with the student’s permission – sends the community college the student’s course completion transcript. The community college reviews the transcript information and determines whether the student completed sufficient credits to qualify for an associate degree. Reverse transfer benefits students by allowing them to complete their associate degree if they transfer to a university prior to graduation from a community college.
