  • First, Middle, Last Name
  • Address, City, State, ZIP

Course and Program Transfer Pathways

Academic crosswalks or program pathways outlining the course-by-course transfer of courses and/or specific programs will be maintained and developed as Transfer Advising Guides (TAG). A course-specific pathway defined in a signed and published TAG is required for each transferable program. Pathways and TAG’s will be evaluated and approved by those individuals responsible for this agreement.

Transfer Advising Guides

In collaboration with Ranger College, SU will provide appropriate TAGs to identify all first year and second year level courses required for specific baccalaureate degrees. This will ensure maximum transferability of courses with the intent that courses taken at Ranger College will count and apply toward degree requirements. Ranger College and SU will collaborate closely through faculty and transfer teams on the courses that will apply toward degree requirements. Both institutions will be responsible for facilitating faculty involvement and interaction throughout the process of developing and updating TAGs. Where applicable, SU will require students to complete an associate degree at Ranger College before transfer. If the TAG does not meet Associate Degree requirements, both partners agree that the student should transfer and achieve the Associate Degree through reverse transfer.

Reverse Transfer

“Reverse Transfer” allows students to transfer course work from SU back to Ranger College to complete requirements for the associate degree. Reverse transfer is specifically designed to allow students to receive the advantages pursuant to completion of the associate degree when they transfer prior to degree completion. SU and Ranger College will develop a reverse transfer process to provide students with the opportunity to complete the associate degree while working on their SU bachelor’s degree, applying a policy where all Ranger College students automatically agree to reverse transfer rules with our university partners unless they opt out. Student records will be exchanged between SU and Ranger College for this purpose, strictly adhering to all privacy regulations and ensuring compliance with Texas House Bill 3025, including, without limitation, student consent.
