BHMT 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.

• Transfer College Coursework

  Transfer College Coursework

  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.

• Experiential Learning

  Experiential Learning

  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 3^rd session.

• Official Academic Plan

  3 Steps to Receiving your Official Academic Plan

  1. Enroll in a Coastline course
  2. Submit official college transcripts from every college attended.
  3. If applicable, contact Counseling via email or by calling (714) 241-6162 to schedule an appointment and have a degree plan prepared. Please include your name, student ID, program, major, as well as the days and times that work best for you.

  You will develop your degree plan with your counselor. Your DegreeWorks program audit will be emailed to you soon after the appointment.

  Please email your unofficial college transcripts to bhmtadvising@coastline.edu and indicate your desired major. An unofficial evaluation will be prepared and emailed to you within 3 - 4 weeks.
