The assessment program provides information needed in advisement. Academic advisement sessions provide a framework for informed decision-making on the part of students and advisors. Information on a student’s skills, abilities, career plans, educational background, life experiences and motivation is important in helping the student and advisor make selections from the many educational options available. However, the college reserves the right to insist students enroll in the appropriate remediation should assessment results indicate a need for the improvement of skills in reading, writing and/or mathematics.
Be aware that there are limits regarding acceptance of credit in transfer for courses completed at other colleges and universities. Please refer to the college catalog under Transfer Students and Acceptance of Credit in Transfer.
Students should be aware that there are limits on the number of lower-division freshman and sophomore courses that Texas public colleges and universities will accept in transfer. In many cases, the maximum number of college-level courses accepted in transfer toward a bachelor’s degree is 66; although some universities may accept slightly more in special cases.
To ensure that you are enrolling in courses that will apply toward a bachelor’s degree, please meet with an advisor to discuss unique transfer situations.
