Credit Exchange Policy for Fall, Winter, and Spring Terms:
From the 9th day (class meeting day) of the term up to and including the 28th day
(class meeting day) of the term, students can withdraw from transfer or technical
credit classes and enroll in developmental education classes with no additional tuition
charges, if they are making an even exchange of credits. Students must enroll for
the same number of developmental credits as the transfer/technical credits they are
dropping in order to incur no additional tuition charges.
(Example: 3 credit transfer/technical class exchanged for developmental courses equaling
3 credits)
A max of 6 credit hours per term may be exchanged at no additional charge. Developmental
credits that are in addition to the six credits being exchanged will be charged at
the regular tuition rate.
Procedures for Credit Exchange
Student Responsibility
- Students wanting to do Credit Exchange will go to the Academic Success Center. Students
should bring a copy of their schedule.
- Students will work with Academic Success Center faculty to select appropriate developmental
courses for Credit Exchange.
- Students who add Academic Success Center credits in excess of the six credits they
are exchanging will be financially responsible for each additional credit at the regular
credit hour rate and will need to make arrangements for payment with the Business
Office and/or the Financial Aid Office.
Academic Success Center Responsibility
- Academic Success Center faculty will advise students and recommend the appropriate
developmental courses to replace the courses the student is dropping.
- Academic Success Center faculty will complete an add/drop form for the Credit Exchange
courses, listing the courses to be dropped and the developmental courses that are
to be added. If students are adding developmental courses in addition to those that
are being exchanged, the faculty member will complete a separate registration for
the additional courses.
- The Academic Success Center will immediately send the add/drop form(s) to Enrollment
Services.
- As soon as the add/drop form is processed (which may involve a 2-3 business day turn-around
time), students will be able to access MyHILLS for their developmental course.
