Texas Core Complete

Texas General Education Core Complete Students certified as core complete by a state of Texas public institution of higher education before enrolling at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor are granted UMHB Core Complete status with the exception of the required Old and New Testament courses and courses embedded within the major. The requirements to meet this status are as follows:

• The relevant coursework must be completed prior to enrollment at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and “core complete” must be indicated on the official transcript on file within the student’s initial semester of enrollment. Core complete status is not retroactive and having an associate’s degree does not confirm core complete status.
• While Texas Core Complete indicators on the transcript will prevail, student must meet the minimum grade requirements for courses embedded within the major. Only courses that meet the minimum grade requirements will count towards overall credit hours.
• Core complete status cannot be accepted from schools outside of Texas or from other Texas private institutions.
• Core complete students are still responsible for CSBS 1311 and CSBS 1312 and any general education requirements embedded within their major/minor curricula.
• First-time freshmen are not be eligible for core complete status. While they are eligible to bring in dual credit coursework and college-level examinations as transfer credit, they are required to complete their remaining core at UMHB.

Students who have taken general education courses at other universities, but are not certified as Texas general education core complete, will transfer in credit according to the policies outlined in the current catalog.
