Transfer Opportunities
University partnerships are important to the success of our students beyond an associate degree. Our partner universities offer Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs that align with the courses found at Navarro College making it easy for students to continue their education.
Navarro College collaborates with Texas A&M University-Commerce and Tarleton State University-Midlothian where students can begin their college education through Navarro College and then complete a bachelor’s degree with either of the Universities. This equals BIG SAVINGS for you!
While Navarro College classes transfer to all state schools, we have articulation agreements with numerous universities that make it easier to transition from Navarro College to that 4-year university. Some even have unique scholarship, transfer merits and transfer awards.
Listed here are several frequently asked questions about academic advising and testing at Navarro College:

The form can be found at: Scholarship Enrollment Exception Certification Form Probation and Suspension of Scholarship The first time a student fails to meet either the credit hour or the GPA requirement for the General Transfer Scholarship will result in probation for the next semester of enrollment. A notification will be sent to the student's university e-mail account. The student will still be eligible to receive the General Transfer Scholarship during the probation semester, provided the student is meeting credit hour requirements.
