Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM) Credit
Students who successfully complete WECM courses in specific applied science degrees may petition for a limited number of elective credit hours to be awarded after admission to UT Dallas. Students interested in petitioning for credit should see their academic advisor to determine the best application of elective credit. Students must weigh the advantages of accepting elective credit through these programs against the possible impact such credit might have on tuition rebate eligibility and their readiness for subsequent courses in an academic sequence. Students interested in petitioning for credit should submit a Transfer Credit Earned Prior to Attending UTD (TCEP) Approval Form (pdf)
