Transfer Planning Guides (2026-2027) : TXST Admissions : Texas State University

TXST Admissions

If you plan to take courses at another institution before transferring to Texas State University to complete your degree, it is important to know what courses your degree program will accept as transfer credit. We encourage you to utilize a Transfer Planning Guide (TPG) to determine a transfer plan for your intended degree. Each Transfer Planning Guide (TPG) is intended to serve as a resource for choosing which courses to take at a junior or community college, using the Texas Common Course Number System (TCCN), for the purpose of transferring to Texas State University.

If you need help with transfer planning, we encourage you to work with an academic advisor at your current college for additional guidance. You may also refer to the Texas State University Undergraduate Catalog and Academic Advising Centers for additional course recommendations.

(All Transfer Planning Guide links on this page open as MS Word (.docx) documents for the current catalog year. Transfer Planning Guides from prior catalog years or in alternate formats are available by request.)
