Yes, you can transfer to another school before completing your degree at NCTC. Check with your next intended school to see how many and what classes need to be completed before you can be admitted as a transfer student there, OR if they recommend completing a degree at NCTC as well as additional hours before transferring. Some universities accept from 60-90 hours in certain majors, which means you can reduce the amount of time (and expenses) by completing more credit hours at a community college before transferring.

If you transfer to a university before completing an Associate degree at NCTC, you can transfer your new college’s courses back to NCTC to determine if you qualify for a degree! Contact our Graduation Coordinator if you have questions about how to have your university credits evaluated and applied to complete your NCTC degree requirements after transfer.

If transferring to another public school in the state of Texas, you can refer to the Texas Common Course Numbering System website. This site allows you to compare two institutions and find the equivalent course numbers for transferable classes. You can also search on a college’s website for their Transfer Guide, such as the ones linked below in our university partners’ section.

If you want to attend an out of state school you can contact their Admissions or Transfer Office for more information on transferable classes.

Ultimately, it is the intended transfer university that will verify which credits and courses will transfer, so make sure to contact an Advisor in your intended major at the school(s) you want to attend next.

You can contact the Admissions office for the school you want to attend for more information.

You can also search the undergraduate catalog and/or Transfer Guide for the major and academic year (ex. 2023-2024) that you are wanting to attend.

Be sure to contact the Advising Office for the program you are interested in pursuing as well.
