Co-enrolling
Students may be enrolled at Blinn College at the same time they are enrolled at
Texas A&M (called co-enrolling) or they may choose to take summer courses at
Blinn or other community colleges. To determine which courses will transfer to Texas
A&M, students should use the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS). TCCNS
was designed to aid students in the transfer of general academic courses between
colleges throughout Texas. Common Courses are freshman and sophomore academic credit
courses that have been identified as common by institutions that are members of
TCCNS. The system ensures that if the student takes courses that the receiving institution
has designated as common, then the courses will be accepted in transfer and the
credit will be treated as if the courses had actually been taken on the receiving
institution's campus. The TCCNS may be found in the back of the Texas A&M University
undergraduate catalog or on the
TCCNS Page.

Correspondence Courses
Students frequently take courses by correspondence (EX: ENGL 210 – Technical Writing).
Correspondence courses typically transfer to A&M if they are on the TCCNS list.
However, students should be warned that taking a course by correspondence during
their final semester at Texas A&M may result in a delay in receiving their diploma.
Universities and colleges offering correspondence courses usually service a large
number of students and are notorious for not having students’ grades transferred
to Texas A&M in time for the student to receive their diploma on the day that
they graduate. Correspondence courses should never be taken during the student’s
final semester.
