In many cases transferability
is optional, but the legislature also
mandates the core curriculum of
any state-run school must be ac-
cepted in lieu of the transferring
school’s core, Murphy said.
There are a few problems with
the system, however. For instance,
if a student transfers to another
school with a core curriculum to-
taling a different number of hours,
it is unsure whether the core cur-
riculum of the old school would
fully replace the new school’s;

Previously, TCC used its own
numbering system that was incon-
sistent with the more common sys-
tem used by many other schools.
The state uses an “eight-digit
rubric,” Murphy said. TCC com-
puters have been configured for a
seven-digit rubric.
The change will also help with
student transfer.
For example, MATH 1413 is
the same at TCC as it is at UTA.
“This year we made the first
big leap to the eight-digit rubric,”
she said.

cently passed by the Texas senate.
The bill outlines a plan to ease
transfer of credit between state
colleges and universities.
Each school creates a core
curriculum totaling between 42
and 48 hours.
If completed, these classes
transfer fully to other state-run
schools in the state.
TCC was first mandated to
create a core curriculum about 12

ture required colleges to create a

A new scholarship fund to
benefit TCC students has been es-
tablished by the Fort Worth Chap-
ter of the Texas Association of
Black Personnel in Higher Educa-
tion (TABPHE).
Numerous administrators and
faculty members from all TCC
campuses attended the First An-
nual Leadership Recog-
nition/Scholarship Banquet to
raise money for a new scholarship
fund.
The banquet, held on SE
Campus in May, was the first offi-
cial event held to raise money for
the scholarship fund. State Sena-
tor Mike Moncrief and Elzie
Odom, mayor of Arlington were
present.
Black Personnel in Higher Ed-

“Our needs are just as signifi-

ago. We don’t care only about
African-American students; we
care deeply about all students,” she
said.

Students registering for the
fall semester will notice a new
numbering system and the addition
of a new core curriculum to the
1999/2000 TCC catalog.
The core curriculum is in ac-
cordance with Senate Bill 184 re-
es.
Other student advantages for the cards

“It was internal, rather than
external,” she said.
The new core curriculum re-
quirement came about because of
increased mobility of students and
a sharp increase in community col-
lege enrollment, Murphy said.
The legislature also set the
standards for the curriculum, de-
tailing mandatory course require-
ments.

PF Students must first go and pay the fee at a
business services office before they go to a sep-

campuses are closed Fridays.
“I bought a card because I didn't have a
picture ID to take a test at the testing center,”
J Roddy Neff, NE Campus student, said. “I was
W lucky that the college finally decided to provide
one.”
On SE Campus, after paying the fee, stu-

however, Murphy said the system
is still being worked on.
“They’re still hammering out
the details,” she said.
TCC’s core curriculum is 45
hours and is detailed on page 60 of
the new catalog.
The associate in arts degree at
TCC is made from the core cur-
riculum plus 19 hours of major-re-
