Based on ACE recommendations, the courses will be articulated as lower or upper level. Courses designated as vocational will not be articulated. When possible, courses will match a course offered by Tarleton State University.

Quarter Credit Hours Policy
College-level academic courses transferring from a regionally accredited institution that operates on a quarter system will be converted to semester credit hours. One quarter credit hour equals 2/3 of a semester credit hour. The total of the quarter credit hours per course will be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, a four-quarter credit hour course will transfer as a three-semester credit hour course (4 X .67 = 2.68 rounded to 3).
