Student services representatives can also provide information about learning at a distance and can answer questions about courses and materials. If a student is taking a DEC course to satisfy a requirement for a degree or diploma, he or she should contact a university advisor or school advisor to confirm that credit acquired through the DEC will transfer as the appropriate course. Earned college credit is recorded on a UT Austin transcript. Admission Enrollment in DEC courses does not constitute admission to UT Austin.
