This agreement serves to facilitate the admission and academic transfer of students from Northeast Texas Community College to the Biomedical Science program (BIMS) in the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine. As students progress successfully toward the completion of the Associate of Science degree, this agreement will ensure the seamless transition of students into the BIMS program according to the provisions and conditions below:
- Northeast Texas Community College students who complete the attached degree plan, as full time students will be admitted to the BIMS program automatically, provided:
- They meet all other general admission requirements (i.e., transcripts, applications, time lines, deadline dates, etc.) for general admission to Texas A&M University.
- Students must have maintained no less than a cumulative 3.60 GPA in the courses taken at Northeast Texas Community College and be eligible for graduation from Northeast Texas Community College.
- Students must not have made any grade below a B in all of their Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) science and math course work.
- This agreement will be reviewed on an annual basis and may be amended by mutual written consent of both parties by issuing an addendum to this agreement.
- This agreement will commence effective the Fall 2014 semester with commitment of a five (5) year period.
