4. Submit official transcript(s). Transcripts must indicate the date of degree conferral for the baccalaureate and/or graduate degree and must convey good standing. Official transcripts must be delivered in sealed envelopes to the Office of Graduate School, or emailed by secure electronic transcripts exchange (e.g. eScrip-Safe, National Student Clearing House, Parchment, or Credentials Solutions) from participating institutions directly to graduateschool@tamuct.edu.

If required, scores on the General Test of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) should be sent directly to the Office of Graduate School by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Business students may take the GMAT exam; these scores must be sent directly to the Office of Graduate School by Pearson Education.  You can get further information on the GRE.

Transfer Students Within U.S.

Applicants to A&M-Central Texas who have attempted graduate-level credit at another regionally accredited U.S. institution after attaining a bachelor’s degree will be considered transfer students. Applicants must be eligible for re-enrollment at their last attended college or university and must submit final official transcripts from each college or university attended. For students who have previously attended A&M-Central Texas, both transfer work and A&M-Central Texas work will be combined to determine a cumulative GPA. Transferred developmental and similar non-college credits will not be used to determine the required GPA for transfer admission eligibility.
