courses that are identified by the Texas Common Course Numbering System
(TCCNS) and published in the Lower-Division Academic Course Guide
Manual (ACGM) shall be fully transferable among public institutions
and shall be substituted for the equivalent course at the receiving
institution. Except in the case of courses belonging to a Board-approved

of an institution of higher education to adopt its own admission standards
in compliance with this subchapter or its own grading policies so
long as it treats transfer students and native students in the same
manner.
(c) Institutional policies regarding acceptance of
credit for correspondence courses, credit-by-examination, and other
credit-earning instruments must be consistent with Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools' guidelines and must treat transfer students
and native students in the same manner.
(d) This subchapter applies specifically to academic
courses and degree programs and does not apply to technical courses
or technical degree programs.
