转移计划

Completing an AA or AS degree has the benefit of program and/or course equivalency agreements which have been negotiated with four-year colleges and universities that allow you to transfer as a junior.

获得AA学位 also fulfills the lower division general education requirements of many transfer schools.

AS学位比AA学位更强调数学和科学.  在大多数情况下, students transferring to an Illinois 4-year college or university will complete the lower division general education courses after transfer (one additional course in Humanities or Fine Arts and one additional course in Social and Behavioral Sciences).  Some schools will not accept an AS, so plan your degree choice with your advisor.

The AAS degree prepares students for immediate employment following program completion.  The degree emphasizes field-specific training combined with fewer general education courses.  BHC支持AAS的传输 & 职业证书学生-参见规划指南 从职业项目转学.

Both degrees require 60 credits to complete but there are slight differences. AA包括完整的IAI公司通识教育核心课程. AS对数学和科学课程的要求略高. AS degree students have the option to take a couple of additional courses at BHC or after transfer (to an Illinois institution) if they want to also complete the IAI公司 GECC.
Check with a 太阳城集团博彩 advisor or the admissions representative at your transfer school to determine if the AA or AS best meets your transfer goals.

你可以开始你的教育 样本转移计划 和BHC的顾问讨论你的目标.  因为转学学校对专业的要求各不相同, you should select a transfer school as soon as possible and follow their recommendations.  We recommend applying to transfer schools by the time you complete 30 credits.

Most colleges and universities will allow you to transfer at least 60 community college semester hours.  Some BHC transfer partners will apply a higher number of your credits to the bachelor degree.  所有转学学校都有“居住”要求, meaning minimum hours must be earned at their institution (many require 30 hours, 更多的, 有些甚至更少). 也, 大多数学士学位所需的总学时, 通常约有三分之一是在高级(300或400级). Discuss your transfer school ideas with your BHC advisor to decide when it’s best to transfer and consult our 探索高校 页面.

在你计划转学的学期前一年申请. Most colleges and universities have application deadlines by which the admission application and all supporting documents (transcripts, 文章, 等.)必须提交. The deadline is often two to five months prior to the start of the term you start, but some schools allow students to apply as late as a few  weeks before classes begin.  但不建议等待 -尽早申请! 也 check when your transfer school needs your financial aid information -尽早申请 for all aid you’re eligible to receive.

Most colleges and universities determine your eligibility for admission based on your college record once you’ve earned a specified number of college credit hours (usually 12-30 hours).  如果你转学的学分更少, you will be asked to follow freshman admission requirements including providing your high school transcript.

After you apply to your transfer school you should send any supporting documents required such as your college transcripts. 按照转学学校清单上的说明.  You should also complete financial aid and scholarship applications and begin making housing arrangements if you will be living away from home. 注意你什么时候应该参加迎新培训, 注册并支付课程费用, 搬到校园去.

Complete the FAFSA and the school-specific scholarship applications by the deadline. Earning excellent grades will also improve your chances of earning a merit scholarship which are automatically awarded based on your grade point average; the higher your GPA, 你就有资格得到更多的钱. 学生 who join the Phi Theta Kappa honor society while at BHC may be eligible for additional scholarships. (Phi Theta Kappa is open to students who have a grade point average of 3.5或以上.)

Look closely at the general financial aid web页面 for your transfer school, 还有他们的录取页面和你专业的院系页面. 这些地方可能会有不同的奖学金机会. 也 ask the admission staff about other sources of funds the college may offer transfer students i.e. 校园访问奖，FAFSA早期申报，州外学生奖等.
