Admission Requirements
A transfer student is defined as any student new to UT Permian Basin who has ever enrolled at another college or university prior to attendance at UT Permian Basin and who has completed 24 or more semester hours of college-level work.
UT Permian Basin evaluates credit only from generally accepted academic institutions with regional accreditation. Applicants must submit records of all accredited institutions attended, even if they do not wish to transfer the credit to UT Permian Basin.
Transfer Students with 24 or more semester hours of college work must:
- Have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) on a 4.0 grading system.
- Be eligible to re-enroll in the colleges previously attended.
- Provisional Admission
In some cases, students that do not meet the minimum grade point requirement may be admitted provisionally. Students who are admitted provisionally must complete the first 12 semester hours with grades of "C" or better in each course in order to be removed from provisional status and in order to be allowed to enroll in subsequent terms.
Transfer Students from Non-Accredited Institutions
A transfer applicant from a non-accredited institution may be considered for conditional admission by the Admissions Review Committee. A transfer student admitted conditionally must achieve a grade point average of 2.0 or above for the first 30 hours of course work undertaken at U.T. Permian Basin and is subject to academic dismissal at any time the grade point average falls below 2.0.
Change of educational objective
Students who have graduated or are scheduled to graduate from U.T. Permian Basin and wish to continue enrollment to pursue another educational objective must reapply indicating their new intention. (Example: second bachelor's degree, a Master's Degree, Teacher Certification)
Transient Students
Transient students seeking admission for one semester or summer session provided they are in good standing at the college(s) or university(ies) previously attended are welcome at U.T. Permian Basin. Only a current transcript from the last institution will be required prior to enrolling at U.T. Permian Basin. A student will not be admissible if (s)he is ineligible to return immediately to his/her former institution.
A student granted admission as a transient or as a non-degree student and who decides to pursue a degree at U.T. Permian Basin is welcome. The applicant must update his/her application and provide official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended and not previously presented to U.T. Permian Basin.
Academic fresh start
Texas residents may apply for admission to U.T. Permian Basin under the Academic Fresh Start statute (Texas Education Code, Sec.51.931). Under this program, residents are permitted to apply for admission and enroll as undergraduate students; and, academic course credits or grades earned 10 or more years prior to the semester for which the students seek enrollment are not considered for admission purposes. Applicants seeking admission under the Academic Fresh Start statute must, at the time of application, inform the Office of Admissions in writing of their intent.
Other standard admissions criteria generally applied to persons seeking admission to the University is not affected by this plan.
If a student who enrolls under this program completes a prescribed course of study, earns a baccalaureate degree, and applies for admission to a postgraduate or professional program offered by a public institution of higher education, the admitting institution will consider only the grade-point average of the applicant established by the course work completed after the student enrolled under this plan (along with other criteria the institution normally uses to evaluate applicants for admission).
ACADEMIC/DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION
A student who is not eligible to return immediately to his/her former institution is not eligible to enroll at U.T. Permian Basin. Normally a student who is dismissed for disciplinary or academic reasons from U.T. Permian Basin or from another institution will not be admitted.
