The education plan should reflect all courses taken, including developmental. Where applicable, course substitution is possible, on the recommendation of the advisor, with the approval of the department chair, the dean of the student's major area and the dean over the course in question. Courses transferred from other institutions may be used as course equivalents or electives. A course equivalency guide is available through the department chair or the Counseling Office. This responsibility includes knowing course requirements, number of credit hours accepted, and grade-point average required for admission.
Students transferring quarter hours usually receive two-thirds of the generated credit.
After completing an education plan, both the student and advisor should sign and date the plan to reflect its completion. The original plan should be given to the student and a copy placed in the department chair's office for future reference. Counselors are available in the Counseling Office to assist the faculty advisor and student on the completion of an education plan. An array of reference materials are available including catalogs, equivalency guides and a microfiche system to assist students with transferability. It equips students with the ability to listen and respond to differing views and to work with others to seek, analyze and use information in completing tasks and solving problems.
