Transfer of Credit

德克萨斯高等教育协调委员会

The德克萨斯高等教育协调委员会was created by the Texas Legislature in 1965 to provide leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system to achieve excellence for the college education of Texas students. Working with higher education institutions, the Governor, and the Legislature, the Board ensures that all Texans have access to high quality programs at different instructional levels, administers the state’s student financial aid programs, and attempts to apply the state’s resources most efficiently in accomplishing its educational goals for Texans.

Some of the Board’s key initiatives have addressed the transferability of credit within the network of state institutions of higher education. Through its support of a statewide common course numbering system, the development of specific guidelines for lower division academic and workforce education courses, the standardization of core curricula, and the lower division curricula for specific fields of study, the Board has made it possible for a mobile student population to gain confidence that their educational achievements will be properly recognized throughout the state’s system of higher education.

Texas Common Course Numbering System

TheTexas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS)是德克萨斯州社区学院和大学之间的自愿，合作努力，以促进新生和二年级学术级别的学术课程。TCCNS为学生及其顾问提供共享，统一的课程标准，用于在州际基础上确定课程等效和程度适用于转移信用。

Brazosport College was one of the first institutions in the State to adopt the common course numbering system that has now grown to include most of the colleges and universities in Texas. While almost all of the community colleges in Texas have course numbers equivalent to those in this catalog, some universities will maintain their current numbers; however, as their new catalogs are published they will include information on how courses from schools that have adopted the common numbers will transfer into their colleges. In addition, all colleges and universities that are part of the system have identified key personnel on their campus to provide information to students and parents about course transfer. For information concerning this system, please check with the Brazosport College Registrar’s Office.

The Academic Course Guide Manual

TheLower Division Academic Course Guide Manual (ACGM)is the official list of courses approved for general academic transfer that may be offered by public community and technical colleges in Texas for state funding. Brazosport College offers courses in the academic disciplines consistent with the ACGM to provide the best assurance that work completed at Brazosport College will be recognized by other institutions in Texas for the purpose of transfer of credit.

The Workforce Education Course Manual

TheWorkforce Education Course Manual(WECM) is the official list of courses approved for workforce programs that may be offered by public community and technical colleges in Texas for state funding. Brazosport College offers courses in the workforce disciplines consistent with the WECM to provide the best assurance that work completed at Brazosport College will be recognized by other institutions in Texas for the purpose of transfer of credit.

Core Curricula

德克萨斯高等教育协调委员会通过了核心课程转移规则和条例，其目标是提供“一般学术课程的基本核心，即在德克萨斯州的所有公共高等教育机构中自由转让，他们是认可的德克萨斯州认证机构与接受机构的工作相同的基础，“（德克萨斯教育法，第61.051章，G）。

佛llowing policies have been adopted by the Coordinating Board and apply to all public colleges and universities in Texas. Private colleges and universities usually implement these policies voluntarily.

3. All public colleges and universities must accept transfer of credit for successfully completed courses identified in (a) and (b) above as applicable to an associate or baccalaureate degree in the same manner as credit awarded to non-transfer students in that major.
4. Each institution shall be required to accept for transfer into a baccalaureate degree the number of lower division credit hours in a major which are allowed for their non-transfer students in that major; however,

佛llowing procedures shall be followed by public institutions of higher education in the resolution of credit transfer disputes involving lower division courses:

1. 如果高等教育机构不接受在另一个高等教育机构获得的学生获得的课程信贷，则接收机构应向学生提供书面通知，并向派遣机构转移课程信贷被否认。接收机构还应在派遣机构要求提供否认特定课程或课程一组课程的书面通知。
2. 收到根据第（1）款规定的通知的学生可以通过在发送或接收机构联系指定的官员来争取拒绝信贷。
3. The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Board rules and guidelines.

高等教育委员或专员的指定人员应决定对课程学分转移的争端进行最终决定，并向所涉及的学生和机构提供书面通知。

State Core Curriculum Guidelines

If a student successfully completes the 42-semester credit hour core curriculum at an institution of higher education, that block of courses may be transferred to any other institution of higher education and must be substituted for the receiving institution’s core curriculum. Students shall receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred and may not be required to take additional core curriculum courses at the receiving institution.

同时注册的高等教育机构同时注册的学生应当遵循核心课程要求，以便他们被归类为一名寻求学校学生的机构。

Students who transfer from one institution of higher education to another without completing the core curriculum of the sending institution shall receive academic credit within the core curriculum of the receiving institution for each of the courses that the student has successfully completed in the core curriculum of the sending institution. Following receipt of credit for these courses, the student may be required to satisfy the remaining course requirements in the core curriculum of the receiving institution.

每个机构必须发布，并尽可能地为学生提供其核心课程要求，以“德克萨斯州常规课程编号系统”一致。
