Frequently Asked Questions
You can find answers to the most frequently asked questions by transfer students below:
You are considered a transfer student if you graduated with a high school diploma or a GED and enrolled at and earned credits from a community college or university after high school.
High school students who completed Dual Credit in high school but have not attended a college or university are not considered Transfer Students, but may still apply to UT San Antonio Online as a Freshman.
A WIP stands for “Work in Progress” transcript. This means your transcript reflects that you are currently enrolled in classes at the time that you submitted your application. It is perfectly fine for you to be enrolled in classes at the time that you apply, too! We will be aware of your enrollment and there is not a penalty for applying with WIPs.
You can submit your application either through the UT San Antonio Online website, GoApplyTexas, or the CommonApp.
Please note that GoApplyTexas is utilizing a new website, so if you used it previously, you may need to create new account.
You can find out which credits will transfer to UT San Antonio using our transfer credit calculator.
Pro tip: have your most up to date transcript with you while you use the calculator, you will need to reference course numbers etc.
If you need further assistance and/or if the transfer credit calculator does not provide sufficient information, please reach out to our Transfer and Transition Student Success Office, or contact the UT San Antonio Online Enrollment Team at [email protected] or 210-458-4000.
