Program for System Admission (PSA) Advising

• To find your PSA plan go to, admissions.tamu.edu/PSA.
• You will see information regarding Eligibility, Requirements, Important Information, and Participating System Schools. Be sure to review this information.
• Under Participating Colleges and Departments at Texas A&M University, click on the College that your major is located. When you find your major, click on the most recent catalog year and your PSA plan will appear.

• Complete at least 24 transferable hours in residence at a single system school during the fall and spring semesters.
  • It is recommended that developmental course(s) and/or prerequisite course(s) be taken prior to fall enrollment. Example: Some institutions require College Algebra before enrolling in higher-level math courses.
• Maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA at the system school AND maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on all transferable coursework (including dual credit taken during high school).
  • NOTE: Engineering applicants must maintain a 3.25 system school GPA and a 3.0 overall to guarantee admission.

1. What do you want to major in at College Station? Does this major participate in the PSA Program? Review the Frequently Asked Questions and Participating College and Majors on this page. You MUST choose a PSA major to participate in this program. You cannot use the PSA Program to be admitted to College Station in a major that does not participate. In this case you must apply as a regular transfer student. This will subject you to competition.
2. Do you have a lot of Dual or AP credit that will count on your PSA plan? (review questions 4-7 below) If so, can you take 24-hours at TAMU-CC that will count on your PSA plan? If not, are you willing to take classes that will not count on your PSA plan? You need 24-hours at TAMU-CC regardless of how many Dual or AP credits you have.
3. Does your PSA plan list Math or Science classes in the Required Coursework? Do you meet the TAMU-CC prerequisites for these classes? If not, can you get them somewhere over the summer before the fall semester? You can see the TAMU-CC prerequisites for PSA classes here. 

Go here. Under “Participating College and Majors” click the “+” next to the college your major is located. In the “Course Sheets” column, click the latest years next to your desired major. You will see your PSA plan. Print a copy of this plan. You can choose ANY PSA major you want. You are not limited to the major you initially applied to College Station as.

Your TAMU-CC major and academic advisor will be aligned with your College Station PSA major as much as possible, BUT your TAMU-CC major does not matter as far as College Station is concerned. What matters is taking the correct classes on your PSA plan.

Yes, but make sure the classes you are currently taking will apply to your new PSA major. Contact the advisor who handles your new PSA major.

Dual Credit classes can count anywhere on a PSA plan.

AP Credit can only count in the “Additional Coursework” on a PSA plan.
