Transfer Policy within Bassett Adult School Programs
English as a Second Language (ESL):
Transfers within the ESL programs are at the instructor's discretion. Students and instructors discuss the transfer based on their academic and career needs and goals. Additionally, the instructor will consult the student's progress before recommending the transfer.
High School Diploma (HSD):
Potential students transferring into BAS's Adult Basic Education or High School Diploma courses must be approved by the High School Counselor. Students make an appointment with the front office to see the counselor. Upon the appointment, students take an entrance exam and discuss their academic and career goals, along with official transcripts, with the counselor, who, upon her evaluation, decides which course better suits the student's needs.
Career Technical Education (CTE):
The program specialist or manager must approve student transfers within BAS. If the student receives assistance from an agency or participates in a government-sponsored program, the student may need permission from that agency or program. Once approved, a new registration form is completed. The student must provide the completed registration form to the program specialist or manager and/or prior to entering the program.
Transfer Credits Earned at Another Institution
English as a Second Language (ESL):
Students take the CASAS assessment to determine their appropriate level. The ESL department is not on a credit basis.
High School Diploma (HSD):
New students must bring in their official transcripts upon meeting with the high school counselor. To be considered official, the transcripts should be from an accredited institution and sealed. Transcripts from outside the U.S. will also be considered, and relevant coursework to BAS's required credits will be issued.
Career Technical Education (CTE):
Any new student enrolling in a BAS CTE program (that accepts transfer students) and wishing to transfer credits for courses completed at a different school must make an appointment to meet with the CTE program manager or program specialist to review previous coursework. BAS cannot guarantee the transferability of course credits.
Transferring Credits to Another Institution
English as a Second Language (ESL):
Students usually cannot transfer their progress from one institution to another.
High School Diploma (HSD):
Upon emailed or in-person request (for more information, see here), the counselor can issue official and unofficial transcripts to the student. The transcripts can be used at other post-secondary institutions, which will issue credits based on their policies and procedures.
Career Technical Education (CTE):
Typically, a post-secondary institution evaluates work the undergraduate transfer student completes regarding its relationship to the institution's course offerings and degree requirements. The institution will then grant credits for pertinent subjects that have been completed satisfactorily. However, transfer students must realize that each institution sets its requirements for specific courses and retains the final approval of courses accepted for transfer from BAS.
