Additional Information
If a student completes all the courses in a FOSC and transfers to another Texas public institution of higher education, the FOSC courses transfer as a block and are applied to the student’s selected major. If a student completes the FOSC, the Texas Core Curriculum, and any college or university courses required of all students regardless of major, the student is finished with all the lower-division courses.
If a student transfers with an incomplete FOSC, each completed FOSC course transfers and applies to the degree program, and the institution may require the student to complete additional lower-division courses.
*Accepted in transfer, not currently offered at UHCL.
