Designation of Transfer Liaisons (§4.40)
Each institution is expected to do the following:

• Designate at least one full-time transfer liaison to serve as theprimary point of contact for transfer students, other institutions, and theCoordinating Board, and to ensure students receive clear informationon transferable and non-accepted credit (including justifications anddispute resolution), as well as degree audits for core curriculum, field ofstudy curricula, Texas Direct associate degrees, and other credentials. Asa reminder, §4.27 requires the dispute resolution procedure to beincluded in its course catalog. The procedures include:
• Written notice detailing the reasons for the transfer denial to the student and the sending institution for any denial of acourse in the core curriculum or field of study curriculum inwhich the student is enrolled, and instructions to disputethe denial;
• Opportunity for resolution of the transfer dispute betweenthe two institutions and the student; and
• An appeal to the Commissioner of Higher Education for adenied transfer.
• Publicly post the liaison’s name, title, and contact information on the institution’s website in a location easily accessible to current and prospective students.
• Provide this information to the Coordinating Board and update it upon personnel changes.
• If your institution has not yet designated and shared the liaison for your respective institution, please provide the information via this form.

Transfer and Website Transparency (§4.25, §4.364, §51.4035)
Institutions admitting transfer students must:

• Post on their websites the minimum requirements for transfer admission, consistent with SB 3039.
• Continue providing support services for transfer students comparable to those offered to non-transfer students.
• Ensure that all certificate or degree program requirements, including minimum grade requirements for transferable courses, are clearly accessible and regularly updated on the institution’s website.
• Publish on the admissions website the five majors (or degree or certificate programs) and the five individual courses, with the highest number of denied credit transfers at the institution.

Transfer Reporting Requirements (§4.41)
Revised reporting requirements include:

• Annual Reporting (beginning May 1, 2026): Through the existing CBM00T reporting process, each general academic institution must report course-level data on transfer credit that is not awarded or applied toward a student’s declared major. This includes identifying the sending institution, course details, and the reason credit was denied or not applied.

Institutional Survey: Institutions will participate in a Coordinating Board- administered survey that captures efforts to improve transfer pathways, including faculty collaboration, advising, financial aid strategies, and degree alignment, and identifies ongoing barriers affecting transfer students and reports on credit dispute outcomes. The survey has historically been administered to universities only and will now also be administered to community colleges.

• Statewide Evaluation and Institutional Feedback: The Coordinating Board will use these data to produce a statewide evaluation of transfer student success and will annually provide institutions with targeted feedback, including the majors and courses with the highest frequency of denied or non-applicable transfer credit.
