Academic Planning

The Ben Hundall Memorial Trust has partnered with Coastline to provide an online solution to your educational goals. Students can select from over 30 degree programs and upon completion of all requirements, can earn an Associates Degree.

Coastline will accept transfer credit for courses successfully completed at regionally accredited institutions of higher education as documented on an official college transcript. Transfer courses will be reviewed for applicability to degree requirements and will be used as appropriate. Non-degree applicable courses (i.e. development math or English), will not be transferred.

Students may earn a maximum of 40 units through experiential learning, including American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST), and Advanced Placement towards degree requirements in similar subject areas.

Once you have met with your BHMT Career Counselor and verified eligibility into the program, your next step is to request your official Academic Plan - which outlines your path to degree completion. Students are expected to complete their official Academic Plan before they will be eligible to enroll into their 3rd session

DegreeWorks is Coastline's online academic advisement tool that helps you:

• Track progress toward completion of your associate degree
• Confirm how your current courses apply to your graduation requirements
• Determine how changing your major will affect your graduation date with the "What If"feature*
