The trio was on hand to sign the South & Central Texas Transfer Compact agreement with Alamo Colleges.
Representatives from Texas A&M University–Central Texas spent Friday morning in San Antonio at the Alamo Colleges District to sign the South & Central Texas Transfer Compact agreement. The agreement signifies a relationship between Alamo Colleges and A&M–Central Texas to enhance the efficiency of transferring from community college to the university.
As the only upper-division university in the State of Texas, A&M–Central Texas’ sole focus at the undergraduate level is on transfer students and meeting their needs as they seek to complete a bachelor’s degree. Interim Provost Dr. Kellie Cude was accompanied to the event by Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management and University Relations Clifton Jones and Director of Recruitment and Enrollment Services Loida González Utley.

“This marks the continuation of our mission to support transfer students,” Cude said of the signing. “As a university that offers junior and senior level courses for baccalaureate completion, we take our relationships with our community college partners very seriously and we appreciate everything they do. Alamo Colleges District has done so much to serve the community and give students an opportunity, and we want to carry on that work and help students accomplish their goals of earning a bachelor’s degree.”
A&M–Central Texas is one of 21 colleges and universities involved in the South & Central Texas Compact. The University has developed unique pathways that map the transition and credit transfers from community college courses into its degree programs.
Cude said A&M–Central Texas is working to strengthen all its agreements with community colleges to better meet student needs.
“As employers continue to favor job candidates with bachelor’s degrees, we want transfer students to know there is a university designed specifically for them,” she said. “We are committed to helping students earn a quality, relevant degree that will help them succeed both professionally and personally.”
A&M–Central Texas maintains similar agreements with Central Texas College, Temple College, McLennan Community College, Austin Community College District, Blinn College District, Dallas College, Lone Star College, and Texas State Technical College.
