Applicants must also submit a formal application for admission (found at www.applytexas.org) as well as an official transcripts of their record at each college or university previously attended and two official high school transcripts as early as possible. This material should be sent to the Office of Admissions and Records, Texas A&M University at Galveston, P.O. Box 1675, Galveston, Texas 77553-1675. The applicant must have achieved an overall grade point ratio of 2.5 or better on the work attempted and must meet or surpass this same standard for each of the last two semesters of attendance, if in attendance two or more semesters. A 10-week summer session with a normal load of course work will be considered a full semester.

A transfer student is deemed as one who has registered at another college or university. An applicant may not disregard the academic record of any previous education received at another institution, other than exceptions stipulated under the Texas Academic Fresh Start Program. Transfer applicants are required to submit an official high school transcript. An applicant must be eligible to return to the institution from which the transfer is sought.

Applicants seeking admission to the license-option curricula (see Texas Maritime Academy for application and physical) who have attended another maritime academy or college must provide a letter to the Superintendent of the Texas Maritime Training Program from the Superintendent of the other academy or college verifying that the student is eligible to return to that institution.

Transfer Credits
On the basis of the credentials submitted, credit will be given for work completed satisfactorily at another properly accredited college or university as long as the work is equivalent in character and extent to similar work at Texas A&M University at Galveston or Texas A&M University. See the section of the online Catalog entitled "Transfer of Credits" for additional information. Students who have attended Texas community colleges can match up their course credits using the Texas Common Course Numbering System, which is also in the online Catalog.

Checking your Admissions Status

If you have not graduated from high school, and are taking dual credit courses at another college, we will not require the transcript until the courses are complete.
