TCC2FAMU is a transfer program that supports students in their endeavor to graduate with the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from Tallahassee Community College and transfer to FAMU to receive baccalaureate degree. Academic, social and transfer student support services are provided, including benefits to enhance continued efforts of expanding the transfer experience.   Personalized advising and electronic tools help show you exactly which classes you need to take while at TCC. Those classes will not only transfer to FAMU, but will directly apply to your choice of major, making it possible to start at FAMU as a junior with at least 60 credit hours. 

• Students who intend to complete the A.A. at TCC with an interest in transferring to FAMU. The A.A. is a degree that helps students complete the first 60 credits of a bachelor’s program. These must be tailored for intended transfer majors at FAMU.
• Students who have completed 50 credits or less. If you are in high school, your dual-enrolled credits count.

TCC has embedded career coaching and specialized academic advising as early as New Student Orientation. This is designed to get you started in general coursework and assist you in selecting a major that matches your personal, educational, and career goals. All students are required to take a College Success course as part of their general education requirements by the completion of 18 credit hours to help you realize your academic and career goals.  By the time you complete 18 credit hours at TCC, you should be decided on a major and ready to declare a transfer major.

Yes, students can change their transfer major while at TCC, without resetting the TCC2FAMU start date.  Please keep in mind different majors have different requirements, so changing majors may result in additional coursework, and thus, additional time to complete the AA and pre-requisite coursework.

Students must enroll at TCC as an AA degree-seeking student with plans to transfer to FAMU after earning an AA degree.  

NOTE: The program does not apply to students who attempt to transfer before earning their AA degree at TCC.

Students may spend different amounts of time finishing their course work at TCC; however, to receive the benefits associated with the TCC2FAMU, it is recommended you complete your TCC2FAMU coursework and any special requirements within three years (or six fall and spring semesters), starting from the semester you sign up.

It is highly recommended students take classes full-time to complete the AA at TCC as majors and programs and FAMU may change requirements. Full-time students who take 12-15 credit hours per semester can anticipate finishing the AA degree in two years. Students may take classes part-time, with the understanding will take longer than two years to earn the 60-credit hour AA at TCC.

Yes. You should apply to FAMU after earning 45 college credits. Apply through FAMU's Transfer Admissions webpage. Be sure to pay attention to deadlines and specific program requirements.

It is important to refer to the FAMU Undergraduate Program information so that you are aware of the grade point average you need to achieve and any other special requirements that need to be addressed in order to complete all elements of both your AA at TCC and be able to enter your bachelor degree at FAMU.

FAMU Advisors are regularly available in TCC’s Advising Center in the Student Union. To see when FAMU Advisors will be available, please refer to the . In addition, TCC hosts FAMU Day where representatives from most of FAMU’s degree programs are present on TCC’s campus to meet with students each Fall and Spring semester.

If you bring in accelerated credits (dual enrollment, AP or IB), those classes must meet university milestones as classes in the degree program. You should submit all transcripts and test scores (sent directly from the testing agency) to TCC prior to enrollment and work with a TCC Advisor at New Student Orientation to learn how your courses will transfer.

If you have taken coursework from private or non-Florida public colleges or universities and you want to have the coursework considered for use at TCC and FAMU, you must have these courses evaluated and approved prior to use in your AA degree.

There is no additional cost to participate in the TCC2FAMU program. While you are at TCC, you will just need to pay TCC tuition and fees. After you transition to FAMU, you will pay FAMU tuition and fees.

The TCC2FAMU is designed to help you reduce the time and costs associated with completion of your associate’s and bachelor’s degrees by providing a clear guide explaining all the requirements. TCC2FAMU students receive reminders about when to apply for admission and financial aid, and other helpful communications about scholarship programs. There are also a limited amount of TCC2FAMU scholarship opportunities available each semester.

Yes, international students are eligible to enroll and participate in the TCC2FAMU, however, there are several important points to consider: International students need to be aware that the “guaranteed admission” benefit of the TCC2FAMU assumes that the student meets all the general requirements for admission to the university.   
 
Credits earned at a foreign institution that may potentially apply to the AA at TCC and must be reviewed by TCC Admissions and Records staff for transferability as well as applicability to specific requirements so that the student will know in advance how those credits apply.

Students who have previously attended FAMU and are now at a TCC can sign up for a TCC2FAMU, but readmission students need to follow any new requirements when they are ready to reapply to FAMU.

FAMU does accept applications from transfer students with less than 60 credits of college coursework, but they will not receive the benefits of the TCC2FAMU program. Transfer applicants with less than 60 hours (without an AA) must submit college transcripts, high school transcripts, and SAT/ACT scores. If you transfer to FAMU without your AA degree, you will be required to complete FAMU’s liberal studies requirements. The FAMU Admissions Office has additional information for transfer students.

The AA is the University General Transfer degree, and therefore, AS degrees will not meet the requirements to transfer to FAMU.
