Transfer from community college?

California community college transfer to UT Dallas after one year?

• My goal was to attend a community college/possibly four year state college and transfer to the University of Texas at Dallas. I checked their website and it seems to be that they require at least 30 transferable credit hours ( seemed like most universities at texas require more a less then that ). from my research, i understand that 30 credit hours can be accomplished in one year? i really hope so because i really wanna attend college in Texas asap! the reason why i am puzzled about this because transfer requirement in California require 60 units, about two years. and from what i read from the website of UT Dallas, it seemed as if i can transfer in as a sophmore after 30 credit hours, which i hope is true. so to sum this up, am i able to attend UT Dallas after one year of community college/state college in California?

• Answer:

  You can transfer after your first semester if your SAT, ACT etc. scores are high enough. UTD uses the same criteria to admit transferring freshmen and sophomores as they use for first time freshmen. You can transfer to UT Dallas as a sophomore with 30 or more credit hours, but the admittance criteria will be the same as for first time Freshmen. The information below was copied from the UT Dallas website. *********** Classification of Students Freshmen and sophomores are lower-division students. Freshman: A student who has successfully completed fewer than 30 semester credit hours (SCH). Sophomore: A student who has successfully completed 30-53 SCH. Juniors and seniors are upper-division students. Junior: A student who has successfully completed 54-89 SCH. Senior: A student who has successfully completed 90 or more SCH. ***********
