Orientation, Policies, Procedures
General Regulations

The following regulations govern Texas State extension studies:

  1. Enrollment for an extension course does not constitute official admission into the university.
  2. Students on active suspension from Texas State are ineligible for extension credit. Full-time students at Texas State may not enroll in extension courses without written permission from the dean of the appropriate school at their university.
  3. Students from other institutions who wish to transfer extension credit should obtain prior approval of their home institution.
  4. If enrollment for extension courses will create an academic overload, students must have prior, written approval of their school dean and chair.
  5. Those not admitted to Texas State may take extension courses.
  6. Transcript records are maintained for all credit earned by extension.
  7. Those employed as teachers may present for credit toward a certificate or degree not more than six hours during one public school year.

A maximum of thirty semester hours for Texas State credit may be completed through a combination of correspondence and extension courses.

For more information on available courses, locations, fees, and other regulations call the Office of Extension Studies at 512.245.2322, or come by our office located in 302 Academic Services Building-North.
