Step 1: Get Your Faculty Advisor
Navigating prerequisites and transfer requirements can feel complex, but you don't have to do it alone. Connecting with a early is one of the most effective steps you can take.
-
How They Support You: Your advisor helps with class scheduling, choosing a discipline or transfer university, applying for scholarships or internships, and navigating academic challenges.
-
Stay Connected: Meet with your faculty advisor every quarter to keep your degree plan on track and make sure you have the resources you need.
Selecting Classes & Degree Pathway Maps
To earn your degree efficiently, plan your series courses carefully and check the prerequisites for your target transfer institutions.
-
Start Math Right Away: Math is a prerequisite for almost all science and engineering sequences. Get your placement early through (or email entryadvising@highline.edu). Continuous math progress keeps your science and engineering sequences moving on schedule.
-
Keep Momentum: Take math every quarter and finish course series (like Physics or Chemistry) back-to-back at Âé¶¹Ô´´ so your credits transfer smoothly as a complete unit.
- Not all classes are offered every quarter: Meet with an advisor to develop an academic plan, especially if you do not start in Fall quarter.
