Transfer Students

At Huston-Tillotson University, our goal is to provide students the opportunity to be a part of a unique learning experience, and that why a degree from HT pays dividends far beyond the paper it’s printed on. If you’ve recently completed an Associate’s degree and are considering transferring to Huston-Tillotson for a change of location or major, we’re here to assist you. Our commitment is to help all students complete their degrees in a timely manner to achieve their goals and start their careers, including our transfer students.

We understand that transferring can raise many questions about credit transfers, scholarships, accommodations, and degree completion time. We strive to address these questions and provide the information you need to make an informed decision. To facilitate this process, we require specific materials from every transfer student. Below, you’ll find an explanation of everything we need, from you.
