Texas Common Course Numbering System
The Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) has been designed to aid students in the transfer of general academic courses between colleges and universities throughout Texas. Common courses are freshman and sophomore academic credit courses that have been identified as common by institutions that are members of the TCCNS. The system ensures that if the student takes courses that the receiving institution has designated as common, then the courses will be accepted in transfer.
The table below lists the courses The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has identified as common and their TCCNS equivalents. Before using this table, students should make sure the institution they attend employs the TCCNS. Course availability varies from institution to institution.
Only courses that have direct equivalents are shown. Courses at other TCCNS institutions that do not have a direct UTRGV equivalent will be evaluated for transferability on a case-by-case basis. Students wishing to transfer a course to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley that is not listed in this guide should obtain approval from Office of Undergraduate Admissions prior to taking the course.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley must receive an official transcript directly from the Office of the Registrar of the institution attended before credit can be transferred.
