Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS)

Texas A&M University-Victoria participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS), which facilitates the transfer of general academic courses between colleges and universities throughout Texas. This system ensures that A&M-Victoria accepts courses bearing a common course number from other participating institutions as equivalent to the corresponding A&M-Victoria course.

TCCNS courses follow a standardized format: a four-letter prefix identifying the subject area (e.g., ENGL for English, COSC for Computer Science), followed by a four-digit number.

• The first digit indicates the course level: freshman (1) or sophomore (2).

• The second digit represents the number of credit hours.

• The last two digits identify the course sequence (e.g., SPAN 1301 is typically taken before SPAN 1302).

For courses not listed in the TCCNS table, students should consult with their academic advisor before enrolling to determine if and how the course applies to their degree program.

*SPAN 1411 and SPAN 1412 are 4-semester-credit-hour courses. Since A&M-Victoria offers 3-credit-hour equivalents, students who complete SPAN 1411 will receive 3 SCH for SPAN 1301 and 1 SCH of lower-division Spanish (SPAN LD). Similarly, students who complete SPAN 1412 will receive 3 SCH for SPAN 1302 and 1 SCH of lower-division Spanish (SPAN LD), totaling 4 SCH per course.
