Texas Core Curriculum Requirements
Is your Texas Core Curriculum Complete?
If you have completed the Texas Core Curriculum, those credits will be recognized at University of Houston–Clear Lake. Our Transfer Advising team is here to help ensure your completed core courses are applied appropriately toward your degree requirements at UHCL.
If you have not yet completed the Texas Core Curriculum, you are not required to finish those courses at another institution before transferring to UHCL. However, students who complete the full Core Curriculum at any public Texas college or university may have those credits transferred and applied at UHCL in accordance with state transfer policies.
Questions about how your Texas Core and Field of Study courses will be applied to UHCL, contact the UHCL Transfer Liaison:

Are you transferring college courses from a non-Texas public college or university?
If yes, then please know that the Transfer Advising team is here to assist you as well. We will guide you through understanding which courses are accepted, and which courses may need further evaluation.
As a new transfer student, you will be directed to meet with a transfer advisor before you register for your first semester courses at UHCL. The advisor will inform you which courses require a copy of your prior syllabus. Once obtained, the advisor will then facilitate routing the syllabus for review by the appropriate Program Director for Texas Core Curriculum applicability.

- Communications
