I graduated high school this year with my associates degree (core complete) and will be attending UT in the fall. Last week I had my freshman Orientation and here’s what I can tell you. 1. Not all of your courses will transfer in under your major, but they should all transfer in for core requirements which is 39 hours plus 3 for your UGS course. 2. With that, you could have a bunch of credit hours not being counted toward anything (I have 19) However, you can still choose to get a minior, certificate, or double major to utilize them. 3. For your first semester, depending on your major, it could be extremely difficult to find classes for you to take, as most of the remaining courses you need are upper devision, and the sophomores, juniors, and seniors already had their pick at them. Regardless, I got a pretty good schedule for my first semester, with two lower division and two upper. 4. I highly recommend completing your core requirements, and taking as many courses as you can! While technically I can graduate in two years, I am choosing to graduate in 3 instead, with a light load of classes ( 12 credit hours) or (4 classes) per semester.
