About Bats to Cats
The Bats to Cats program offers a guaranteed admission path for ACC students transferring to Texas State University (TXST). The program is designed to simplify your transfer experience and help you stay on track.
How it works:
- Guaranteed Admission: Qualifying students gain automatic entry into their chosen semester at TXST.
- Clear Guidelines: Transparent transfer guidelines to ensure eligibility and maximize credit transfer.
- Streamlined Transfer: ACC sends your transcripts directly to TXST.
- Dedicated Support: TXST counselors help you stay eligible and on track to transfer.
Programs are offered primarily at the Texas State San Marcos campus, with select options available at the Round Rock campus. There are nearly 40 eligible bachelor’s degree programs — including Health Sciences, Business, Engineering, and Communications.
To be eligible, students must have graduated from high school or earned a GED, cannot be a former Texas State student, or hold a bachelor’s degree, and must remain enrolled at ACC after declaring for the program.
