Any Texas state resident may elect not to use college credits earned on courses that are ten (10) years or older under the provisions of Senate Bill 1321 (Texas Education Code, Chapter 51, Subchapter U, Section 51.931). Academic Fresh Start must be declared upon admission to a college in the Alamo Colleges District. Fresh Start Declaration must be requested at the student’s home college.
Students who declare an Academic Fresh Start may not single out specific credits to omit. Rather ALL coursework ten (10) years or older will be eliminated from evaluation for credit and from the current GPA calculation, and NONE can be applied toward a degree or certificate for credit at any of the colleges in the Alamo Colleges District and any other Texas state institution of higher education. Such work, however, will NOT be removed from students’ academic records and transcripts. Academic Fresh Start petitions are permanent and cannot be reversed at a later date. An applicant who elects Academic Fresh Start may apply these credit hours towards the determination of TSI requirements.
Academic Fresh Start does not eliminate credits for purposes of determining financial aid eligibility or eligibility in programs that require a separate admissions policy. Academic Fresh Start courses are NOT excluded from Three-Peat, Six Drop Limit or 18 Hour Rule processing. Previous academic standing will remain for semester processed in an Academic Fresh Start.
This provision does not exempt students from notifying a college in the Alamo Colleges District of attendance at previous institutions nor of the need to submit official transcripts with all previous college-level coursework attempted prior to meeting with a designated official to review eligibility.
To be adequately prepared for registration, students should seek academic advising before the registration process begins to consider program options and understand the academic requirements to include prerequisites for courses, degrees and programs, and transfer institutions.

To meet the requirements of an Associate of Applied Science degree or certificate, only those technical courses in which a “C” or better has been earned may be applied to meet the requirements in the academic plan. This policy applies to all degree plans. Credit may be transferred to the Alamo Colleges from institutions of higher education accredited by one of the following associations:
Courses from institutions accredited by the following agencies recognized by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) may be applied by the college toward a certificate or degree only after being reviewed on a case by case basis.
The Alamo Colleges District Center for Student Information (CSI) works with the college to verify an institution’s accreditation status and for processing existing course equivalencies. Traditional classroom instruction and credit by examination are the basis on which transferred credit is recognized. A minimum of 25% of the required semester credit hours toward a degree or certificate must be completed at the college of the Alamo Colleges District granting the degree or certificate.
Courses taken ten (10) or more years prior to a student’s last enrollment at a college in the Alamo Colleges District will not count as semester credit hours toward the award of the degree or certificate in the Applied Science area of major concentration. These courses will only be transferred or credited as elective credits towards the fulfillment of degree/certificate requirements. However, a student may petition for an exception, which will be evaluated and awarded as determined by the program lead with approval by the VPAS.
The term “official transcript of record” refers to the record of coursework transferred from other accredited institutions of higher education to a college in the Alamo Colleges District. An official evaluation of college transfer coursework will be processed during the first (1) semester of enrollment at a college in the Alamo Colleges District.

Transfer disputes may arise when students are transferring courses to a college in the Alamo Colleges District from other institutions and/or when courses from a college in the Alamo Colleges District are not accepted for credit by another Texas public institution of higher education. Both institutions involved in the transfer issue will attempt to resolve the transfer dispute in accordance with the THECB rules and/or guidelines.
The purpose of the THECB’s transfer rules is to facilitate the transfer of lower-division courses and to clarify students’ rights and responsibilities as potential transfer students. The procedure for the resolution of transfer disputes is codified in THECB Rules (Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 4, Subchapter B, §4.27) online.
In all disputes, the THECB Transfer Dispute Resolution Form must be completed to initiate a dispute action. The completed form must be forwarded to the receiving institution within fifteen (15) calendar days after the evaluation has been submitted to the student. From the date a student is notified of credit denial (date evaluation is sent by the receiving institution), the law allows a maximum of forty-five (45) calendar days for the resolution of the dispute by the sending and receiving institutions.
If it is determined by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Part 1, Chapter 4, Subchapter B, §4.26) that an institution of higher education inappropriately or unnecessarily has required a student to retake a course that is substantially equivalent to a course already taken at another institution, formula funding for credit hours in the repeated course will be deducted from the institution’s appropriations.
Students may access unofficial transcripts and grades through ACES Web Services at alamo.edu if there are no transcript holds on the student’s record.
Students may request an official transcript online through ACES. Once processed, transcripts will be sent as requested. Students receive the first transcript free of charge; a fee will be charged for all additional official transcripts. See Non-Refundable Fees for additional information.
In compliance with FERPA regulations and Alamo Colleges District’s policy, transcripts may only be released to the student of record. Transcripts may be requested online through ACES Web Services at alamo.edu
Educational Releases signed by the student are required for each request and are subject to review.
The Alamo Colleges District will not mail via overnight services; fax to other educational institutions, students, employers or other third parties; or accept students’ personal requests for transcripts via email or phone.
Transcripts will be withheld if students have not settled all admissions requirements (e.g., submitting official transcripts from last accredited institution attended) and satisfied all financial obligations to the Alamo Colleges District.
The colleges in the Alamo Colleges District provide students the opportunity to receive equivalent college semester credit hours earned through Advanced Placement and non-traditional means. The colleges in the Alamo Colleges District, with appropriate departmental guidelines, reserve the right to determine the acceptable transfer credit to a maximum of forty-five (45) semester credit hours once the student has earned six (6) college semester credit hours at any of the colleges in the Alamo Colleges District.
Military-connected students needing an evaluated degree plan to obtain Military Tuition Assistance (TA) or Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) funding may have transfer credit for CLEP posted to their student record in advance of receiving six (6) college semester credit hours at any of the colleges in the Alamo Colleges District. Eligible students must submit a request for CLEP review to their home-college Enrollment Services/Admission and Records Office. Acceptable CLEP credit will be posted to the student record after the census date for the first term of attendance. Questions can be directed to dst-military@alamo.edu.
Credit hours earned by examination and/or awarded through non-traditional means will be posted as CR and will not be included in a student’s GPA computation; however, the semester credit hours are counted for graduation. Credit by non-traditional means may not be awarded once a grade has been earned in the same course, excluding I and W.
Students planning to transfer to other institutions of higher education should consult with those institutions of higher education regarding their policies on granting non-traditional credit.
Students enrolled for the current semester, with paid tuition for that semester, may satisfy the requirement of certain courses by passing proficiency examinations provided the following criteria are met:
