Transfer Credit
Subject to the conditions specified below, San Jacinto College guarantees students the transfer of credit to those publicly supported Texas colleges and universities that participate in the College's Guarantee of Transfer Credit Program when course work at San Jacinto College is completed in accordance with an approved and properly executed transfer plan.

  1. Transferability means the acceptance of credit toward a specific major and degree. The receiving college or university must identify courses as transferable in accordance with transfer plans dated 1992-1993 or later.
  2. Limitations of the total number of credits accepted in transfer, grades required, relevant grade point average, and duration of transferability apply as stated in the catalog of the receiving institution or in an agreement concerning the transfer of courses between San Jacinto College and the participating receiving institution.
  3. The guarantee applies only to courses taken at San Jacinto College and listed on approved transfer plans. San Jacinto College will not be responsible for courses not applicable to a major due to a change of major by the student.
  4. Students may be required to take prerequisite courses that may not apply to degrees in certain majors. Such courses are not eligible for this guarantee.
  5. To be eligible for the guarantee, the student must file with the director of counseling on his/her campus an agreement to follow a written transfer plan. The plan must include:
    1. The name of the institution to which the student plans to transfer.
    2. The associate degree, the bachelor's degree, and the major the student plans to pursue.
    3. The date the plan was filed.
    4. The date shown on the transfer plan.

If a student meets the above conditions, but does not receive transfer credit for one or more courses from the receiving institution, the student must notify in writing the vice president of instruction at San Jacinto College within 14 calendar days of the notice of transfer credit denial. Then the vice president of instruction will initiate the Transfer Dispute Resolution process established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. If this process does not resolve the course denial, San Jacinto College will develop a plan whereby the student may take, tuition free, a maximum of nine semester credit hours of acceptable alternative courses within one year from the date the plan was executed. Although tuition for these courses is free, the student must pay for books, fees, or other course-related expenses.
