Whether you’re transferring from another Texas-based college or coming here from an
out-of-state institution, there’s a place for you here. If you’re a transfer student,
here’s what you need to know about enrolling at San Jac.
How to Transfer to San Jac
If you’re looking to transfer from another two- or four-year institution, follow these
steps to gain admission to San Jac. Check out the catalog for general information about our academic policies and find the minimum requirements for transfer admission.
Apply
To apply, visit the ApplyTexas website to create an account and complete a two-year
application. Make sure to choose San Jacinto College as the college you would like
to attend. The application is free and there is no deadline. You will receive an
email confirmation once you submit your application. You will receive an acceptance
letter via email within 24-48 hours.
When you apply to San Jac, an SOS account is created for you to claim your login credentials
and activate your account. This is how you securely gain access to the College’s platforms.
If you’re under the age of 22, you will be required to receive a vaccination or booster
against bacterial meningitis within the last five years before you register for classes.
This is a legal requirement for all Texas college students. Men B does not meet the
state requirement, so please be sure request the MCV4 vaccine at least 10 days before
the semester begins.
Next, you’ll need to submit official transcript(s) from each college or university
you’ve attended. These records help us determine which courses you’ve completed and
will also be needed if you are applying for financial aid. Official transcripts can
be submitted in person, electronically, or via US mail. Transcripts emailed to the
College are not accepted.
If you’re transferring into San Jac with fewer than 12 credit hours earned, you’ll
need to complete new student orientation prior to registering for classes. This course
will show you everything you need to know about attending San Jac. Orientation can
be completed online or in person. Log into My San Jac and click on the “SOS Login” to sign up for an orientation session.
While all transfer students are encouraged to meet with a Program Advisor before registering
for classes, only those with fewer than 12 credit hours earned are required to do
so. Please note that all steps listed above must be completed prior to meeting with
a Program Advisor. Appointments are offered virtually and in person.
Transferring to San Jac is a pretty easy process. However, there are some requirements
you'll need to make sure to meet in order to have a successful transfer experience.
Let's get into it.
San Jac has no specific application deadline. We accept applications year-round. If
there is a specific semester you would like to enroll in (spring, fall, winter, summer),
you should apply early to allow yourself time to finish enrolling by the time that
semester starts. You can view our academic calendar and payment deadlines for important dates.
Check out our cost of attendance to estimate your costs to attend San Jac. Actual costs vary based on enrollment,
residency status, and living arrangements.
You can transfer to San Jacinto College regardless of your GPA. For transfer admission
consideration, you need to be eligible to re-enroll at your previous institution and
submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended.

to San Jac. If you have attended another college or university, you may apply as a
transfer student and submit official transcripts from all schools you attended prior.
However, if you transfer to San Jac with fewer than 12 credit hours earned, you will
need to complete new student orientation prior to registering for classes. Learn more in our catalog.
You need to complete at least 25% of the credit hours required for your degree or

credits can apply toward your program requirements, but they do not count toward the
residency requirement. Learn more in our catalog.
San Jac does not have a set limit on the amount of credit hours you can transfer in,
but you still need to complete at least 25% of your degree or certificate here. Only
applicable courses will count toward your degree.
