Texas Common
Course Numbering System (TCCNS)
The
Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) has been
adopted voluntarily by many public community colleges
and universities in Texas. Common Courses are freshman
and sophomore academic credit courses that have been
identified as common by institutions that are members
of the common course numbering system. UH-Victoria is
a member institution of the TCCNS. The system is designed
to assist students in the transfer from one Texas college
or university to another.
The
numbering system consists of a set of four-character
abbreviations for academic disciplines and four-digit
course numbers. The first digit of the number reflects
the academic level of the course (1 for freshman, 2
for sophomore) and the second digit reflects the semester-credit-hour
value of the course. The third and fourth digits represent
sequence.
The
common courses listed below are required for the various
degrees at UH-Victoria. These course numbers will be
used in the evaluation of lower division courses transferred
from other institutions. A student who has completed
the core curriculum at another Texas public institution
will have satisfied the core curriculum requirements
for UHV.
Students who have not completed the core at another
Texas public institution are subject to the following
guidelines. Any transferable lower division course,
which is not equivalent to a course listed in this roster,
will transfer as a non-advanced elective. The dean of
the student=s
major will make the decision concerning the application
of transfer credit to the degree program with the advice
and consent of the Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs or his/her designate. Courses will transfer
on the same level and with the corresponding number
of hours as earned at another institution. |
