53. Biology Transfer admissions requirements to declare Biology; otherwise, enter as pre-biology (PBI) MAT 1214 for MAT 1193 Calculus for Biosciences. CHE 3643 Organic II upper-divison and required. To request substitution, need to submit the course syllabus Students must still meet the transfer admissions requirements in order to declare Biology; otherwise, they will enter as pre-biology (PBI). MAT 1214 will be transferred in and counted as Calculus I for Biology majors, even though the degree plan lists MAT 1193 Calculus for Biosciences. The Biology degree now requires CHE 3643 Organic II. Since Organic II is now an upper-division course, it won�t transfer in from a community college. If a student wants to request substitution, s/he will need to submit the course syllabus and there is no guarantee it will count.Students must still meet the transfer admissions requirements in order to declare Biology; otherwise, they will enter as pre-biology (PBI).

54. Computer Science ITSE or ITSC courses are less likely to be approved than COSC courses Only 2 hours free electives Two concentration options: Computer and Information Society Software Engineering. If students take ITSE or ITSC courses are less likely to be approved as substitutions so CS students take COSC courses if they plan to deviate from the transfer plans. The CS degree plan only has 2 hours free electives because MAT 1224 Calculus II is now a 4 hour course. CS now has two concentration options: (1) Computer and Information Society and (2) Software Engineering.If students take ITSE or ITSC courses are less likely to be approved as substitutions so CS students take COSC courses if they plan to deviate from the transfer plans.

CS now has two concentration options: (1) Computer and Information Society and (2) Software Engineering.

55. Mathematics Three concentrations: Math- Math Math- GMS with certification Math- GMS without certification We still offer three different concentrations: (1) Math, (2) General Mathematics Studies (GMS) with certification, (3) GMS without certification.We still offer three different concentrations: (1) Math, (2) General Mathematics Studies (GMS) with certification, (3) GMS without certification.

56. Chemistry BA/CHE students can take PHY 1603/1623 Algebra-based Physics I and II Students interested in Pharmacy may want to declare a BA/Chemistry Main difference between BS and BA in Chemistry is that BA students can take PHY 1603/1623 Algebra-based Physics I and II. So students interested in Pharmacy may want to declare a BA/Chemistry. Main difference between BS and BA in Chemistry is that BA students can take PHY 1603/1623 Algebra-based Physics I and II.

57. Environmental Science Only need BIO 1404 Biosciences I instead of Biosciences I and II ES majors only need BIO 1404 Biosciences I now instead of Biosciences I and II.ES majors only need BIO 1404 Biosciences I now instead of Biosciences I and II.

58. Geology GIS course should be Raster-based if at all possible. GEO 2003 Mineralogy CHE 1103 and MAT 1093 prerequisites only offered in the fall If a student doesn�t take it their first fall, s/he will have to wait an entire year For the GEO degree, the GIS course should be Raster-based if at all possible. GEO 2003 Mineralogy, the gateway course (a prerequisite to everything else), has CHE 1103 and MAT 1093 as prerequisites and is only offered in the fall. If a student transfers in without these prerequisites or doesn�t take it their first fall semester, s/he will have to wait an entire year before being able to progress in the major.For the GEO degree, the GIS course should be Raster-based if at all possible.

59. Multidisciplinary Science With Teacher Certification Specific composite science courses Cannot choose which courses wish to take Without Certification Must take 48 hours of approved electives in geology, biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science and/or math Cannot use engineering courses MDS majors now have specific composite science courses required for certification. Students no longer have the flexibility to choose which courses they wish to take. Students who are not seeking teacher certification must take 48 hours of approved electives in geology, biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science and/or math. They cannot use engineering courses.MDS majors now have specific composite science courses required for certification.

60. Physics May want to declare a Math minor No Astronomy major Not many Astronomy courses offered PHY majors may want to declare a Math minor since they will already have a lot of the required courses. There is no Astronomy major at UTSA and not many Astronomy courses are offered.PHY majors may want to declare a Math minor since they will already have a lot of the required courses. There is no Astronomy major at UTSA and not many Astronomy courses are offered.

61. All COS Majors Should not take all of their core curriculum courses, especially Computer Science majors The support work for some majors can use a D. However, a D in CHE 1103 will not work as a prerequisite to take CHE 1113. Student will have to retake the course. The same is true for any math that is a prerequisite for the next math level (e.g. MAT 1073 must be a C or better to take MAT 1093). Reminder: Science majors should not take all of their core curriculum courses, this is especially important for Computer Science majors. The support work for some majors (e.g. Geology, Environmental Science, or Physics) can use a D. However, if a student transfers in a D for CHE 1103 General Chemistry I, it will not work as a prerequisite to take CHE 1113 General Chemistry II. The student will have to retake the course.

62. UTSA Transfer Plan Mechanics and Web Review

63. 2010-2012 Transfer Plans Based on the UTSA core of 42 hours Aims to outline 60-66 hours that transfer in each program Each transfer plan has been approved by each academic department/college at UTSA Lists the optimal option in each core category for that major but allows for ANY option from that coded component, e.g., 080 BarbaraBarbara

64. 2010-2012 Transfer Plans  The UTSA course number equivalent has been added to the plan so the student, advisor/counselor will know exactly how the course will transfer to UTSA There is a transfer plan for each major indicating additional course that can be taken for the various concentration or specialization Majors were either a BA or BS can be earned both appear on the same plan BarbaraBarbara

65. Shows core component codes, such as 030, 080�to match college�s unique courses ONLY Listed state TCCN core courses that are taught at your respective college (www.tccns.org) 2010-2012 Transfer Plans MarianMarian

66. Catalog The Office of Admissions uses the current catalog in admitting students. A change of catalog is done at the student�s request with his/her major advisor once admitted to UTSA. If transferring from a Texas community college, the student retains their original catalog from when they began transferable coursework for up to 7 years (�locked in�).

76. Important Tip #1: Core Complete at Community College If the transfer student satisfies the community college core curriculum Then the transfer student is core complete at UTSA 

77. Core Codes

78. Important Tip #2: Degree Completion If the transfer students is awarded an A.A., A.S., or A.A.T. degree Then the transfer student is core complete at UTSA *A.A.S can only be used toward a B.A.A.S degree at UTSA

79. Important Tip #3: Not Core Complete If the transfer student is Not Core Complete at Texas Public Community College Then the student is required to satisfy remaining UTSA core requirements

80. UTSA Admission Requirements Freshman (graduated HS after 2005 with <30 college hours): Official high school transcript or GED certificate SAT/ACT scores Official transcript from college or university (include dual credit) HS Curriculum of Recommended or above 2.0 GPA on all college coursework Freshman Transfer (graduated HS before 2005): Official high school transcript or GED certificate Some college if not on recommended or distinguished HS diploma Official transcript from college or university (include dual credit) 2.0 GPA on all college coursework Transfer (>30 college hours) Official college transcripts from each college attended 2.0 GPA on all college coursework
