- Sam Houston State University
- Texas A&M University at College Station
- Texas A&M University-San Antonio
- Texas State University-San Marcos

- University of Northern Iowa
- University of the Incarnate Word
- University applications and catalogs with specific information on admissions deadlines and academic program descriptions
- Transfer scholarship information for the four-year universities
Some universities use the term “transfer advising guide” and some use “2+2” but both terms refer to a degree plan that lists the courses you take at Palo Alto College before transferring. Students should use the transfer guides to determine what courses to take at Palo Alto College, as these plans list the requirements within each degree.
Transfer advising guides and university transfer information can be accessed here. In addition, the Alamo Colleges District lists all current Articulation Agreements with transfer universities here.
Palo Alto College and the University of Incarnate Word have created a joint admissions agreement (JAA). The JAA requires students to follow a specific degree plan. Please visit with a certified academic advisor to learn more.
Not sure if classes will transfer to another college or university? Course equivalencies for Texas universities statewide can be found by using the Texas Common Course Numbering System which provides course equivalencies between Palo Alto College and numerous Texas universities. For assistance using the website, please make an appointment with a certified academic advisor.
University recruiters and advisors visit Palo Alto College throughout the year to answer questions regarding admissions requirements, course transfer guidelines, programs available and other university requirements.
