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.
Transfer
Transferring to Brookhaven College from another college or university?
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.
Planning to transfer to a state four-year college or university?
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.
For more information, please contact the Advising and Counseling Center at
972-860-4830.
