42-Hour Core Curriculum
If a student successfully completes the 42-hour core curriculum at an institution of higher education in Texas, that block of courses may be transferred to any other public institution of higher education in Texas and must be substituted for the receiving institution’s core curriculum. A student who transfers from one public institution of higher education to another without completing the core curriculum of the sending institution shall receive academic credit from the receiving institution for each of the courses that the student has successfully completed in the core curriculum of the sending institution.
ACC will designate core curriculum courses completed by a student on the official ACC transcript. If all component areas area satisfied by a student, the message “Core Curriculum Completed” will appear on the transcript.
