Let's say you want to take the equivalent of HIS 315K (The United States, 1492-1865) at Austin Community College.
Step 1) Go to the ATE website: http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/ate.
- Select “Search by the UT Austin Course Designation”
- Select the sending institution “Austin Community College”
- Select UT department “History”
- Input UT course number “315K” (you can also leave this blank to see all options)
- Select “Initiate UT Search”
Step 2) Look for the course equivalent (if any).
Texas Community College courses should be four letters and four numbers (HIST 1301).
- The first column shows you the UT course prefix and number “HIS 315K”.
- The third and fourth columns show you the ACC prefix, number and title “HIST 1301 (U.S. History 1)”.
Step 3) Check the ACC course schedule for “HIST 1301”. http://www6.austincc.edu/schedule
If you find it, then that course should transfer into UT Austin and satisfy 3 hours of American History.
Step 4) Verify the course will transfer to UT.
After you decide which course(s) you plan to take, please email the CoFA Office of Student Affairs before you take the course to verify the course will transfer into UT and satisfy a degree requirement.
