-
Transfer College Coursework
Coastline will accept transfer credit for courses successfully completed at regionally accredited institutions of higher education as documented on an official college transcript. Transfer courses will be reviewed for applicability to degree requirements and will be used as appropriate. Non-degree applicable courses (i.e. development math or English), will not be transferred.
-
Experiential Learning
Students may earn a maximum of 40 units through experiential learning, including American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST), and Advanced Placement towards degree requirements in similar subject areas.
Once you have met with your BHMT Career Counselor and verified eligibility into the program, your next step is to request your official Academic Plan (which outlines your path to degree completion). Students are expected to complete their official Academic Plan before they will be eligible to enroll into their 3rd session.
