Students enrolled in this program are eligible to take up to four courses of pre-major and major coursework at 51ÁÔÆæ while pursuing an associate degree at CSTCC. CState251ÁÔÆæ students pay the CSTCC tuition rate to 51ÁÔÆæ for the allotted four 51ÁÔÆæ courses. Students taking classes at 51ÁÔÆæ through the program will also pay part-time student fees per credit hour. Some courses may also incur specific charges from the respective college. Students pay for their CSTCC and 51ÁÔÆæ bills separately.
The four courses must be spread out over the span of several semesters. The number of courses a student is able to take at 51ÁÔÆæ in a given semester is based on earned and in-progress hours. Students with 15 earned and in-progress hours are eligible to take their first course at 51ÁÔÆæ. Once students have at least 30 earned and in-progress hours, they are eligible to take a second course at 51ÁÔÆæ. After 45 earned and in-progress hours, students can take their last two courses. If a student has 45 or more earned and in progress hours but has yet to take any classes at 51ÁÔÆæ through the CState251ÁÔÆæ program, he or she would be eligible to take two courses in the first semester of the program.
Students must never exceed the maximum of two courses at 51ÁÔÆæ in any given semester through the CState251ÁÔÆæ program. Students enrolled in the CState251ÁÔÆæ program are eligible to take courses at 51ÁÔÆæ that are not offered at CSTCC. While enrolled in 51ÁÔÆæ courses through the program, students are not eligible to take courses at 51ÁÔÆæ above and beyond the CState251ÁÔÆæ program courses.
The pathway guides are advising tools designed to help community college students plan for transferring to 51ÁÔÆæ to complete their baccalaureate degree. The pathway guides also constitute an agreement between community colleges and universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements.
