Transferring into a University from a community college (Texas)?

Right now I'm a student at a community college in Texas. I want to transfer into The University of Texas into the Radio/Television/Film major. I've always excelled at the History and English classes, but I've never been that great of a math student. I know when I take math I will have an incredibly hard time trying to get an A. My transfer GPA goal is a 3.7, which I know I could obtain if I didn't transfer with math credits. So I was wondering if I could transfer into the school without taking math or is there usually like a requirement of the classes you need to take before you can transfer in. I was put in developmental math this past semester, I missed the final due to a personal emergency and failed the class, but I know that it's not going to affect my transfer GPA. Will that look bad when I apply to transfer in?

    I am familiar with the process of transferring into schools especially in Texas. My best advice is to take the math course in the community college, because it is way easier and cheaper than taking it in UT. Then, you can transfer that course into UT, with your other courses. There is a tccns.org website that actually shows what your classes in your community college will transfer to in UT. It will also help determine if they transfer or not. But also, make sure to check UT's degree plan to see if you're taking the right courses for that major.
