UNT Reverse Transfer Program

As students work toward a bachelor’s degree, they also have the potential to earn a marketable credential by completing an associate degree.

Reverse Transfer allows UNT to transfer academic credits to a community college for purposes of awarding an associate degree. 

Each community college determines if a student has met associate degree requirements using credits earned at UNT and the community college.

Student Eligibility Criteria

(per Sec. 61.833 of Texas Education Code)  

  1. Student transferred from a public college, state college or technical institute. 
  2. Student earned at least 30 credit hours for coursework successfully completed at a public college, state college or technical institute.
  3. Student earned a cumulative total of at least 66 credit hours.  

Reverse Transfer Timeline
