Advising To adhere to the requirements set forth by HB1638, the Dual Enrollment Policy Statement approved during the SACSCOC December 2018 annual meeting, and legislative bills passed during the 86th Texas Legislative Session, the College and the School District will provide academic advising as listed herein.
a. The 86th Texas Legislative Session passed SB 1324, which states that a student shall file a degree plan with the college not later than:
1. the end of the second regular semester or term immediately following the semester or term in which the student earned a cumulative total of 15 or more semester credit hours of course credit for dual credit courses successfully completed by the student; or
2. if the student begins the student ’s first semester or term at the college with 15 or more semester credit hours of course credit for dual credit courses successfully completed, the end of the student’s second regular semester or term at the college.
b. SB 1324 further states that a student enrolled in a multidisciplinary studies associate degree program must meet with an academic advisor to complete a degree plan and account for all remaining credit hours required for the completion of the degree program. The College staff and the Student must also account for the Student’s transition to a particular four-year college or university that the Student chooses and preparations for the Student’s intended field of study or major at the four-year college or university.
c. Through the School counselor(s), each Student will receive advising on the five high school endorsements. The College will provide information on the AlamoINSTITUTES appropriate to the Student’s selected career pathway. Each Student will select a high school endorsement and higher education degree plan. Information on the AlamoINSTITUTES can be found at: xxxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/enroll/plan/.
d. The 86th Texas Legislative Session passed SB1276, which requires that the College establish advising strategies and terminology related to dual credit and college readiness. The College and the School District will provide the alignment of high school endorsements described by Texas Education Code Section 28.025(c-1) offered by the School District, and dual credit courses offered under the agreement that apply towards those endorsements, with postsecondary pathways and credentials at the institution and industry certifications.
e. The School Counselor or School designee will work with the College Advising Staff and College Coordinator of High School Programs to review and register students into courses that may count toward the degree at the 4-year university of the Student’s choice or a degree or certificate from the College.
f. The Alamo Colleges District Transfer Advising Guides (“TAGs”) are available resources to provide Students with information for transfer pathways while minimizing loss of credits in the transfer process. Transfer Advising Guides depict a degree plan from a University in the Alamo Colleges District Transfer Compact. The Transfer Advising Guides can be found at: xxxx://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx.xxx/content.php?catoid=157&navoid=9481. The documents delineate the courses that are offered at the Colleges of the Alamo Colleges District. They provide valuable information about special requirements or considerations for transfer. Transfer Advising Guides are intended for advising purposes only and not an exhaustive list to be applied to all academic transfer situations or all degree plans within the Universities in the Alamo Colleges District Transfer Compact. While the Alamo Colleges District maintains articulation agreements with universities in the Alamo Colleges District Transfer Compact, it is highly recommended that the College, School District, School and Students communicate with the intended transfer institution to minimizing loss of applicable college course credits in the selected degree plan.
