Advisor:An advisor can be your best friend when it comes to planning an educational path. Palm Beach State has two types of advisors: academic advisors, who work in Student Services, and program advisors, who are usually faculty members. An academic advisor is a generalist who can help you choose which courses to take,refer you to additional resources and adviseyou on the transfer requirements of Florida’s colleges and universities. This generalist advisor will refer you to a specialist, or pro-gram advisor, when you choose to pursue programs or degrees that you can complete at Palm Beach State.A note of caution:If you want to pursue a program or degreethat you can complete at Palm Beach State, but you think there may be even a possibility of pursuing additional education in the future,choose your courses carefully with the help of an academic advisor. When in doubt, alwayssee an academic advisor before consulting with a program representative. Another reason to see an advisor: Under a new state law, students who plan to transfer to a state university for their bachelor’s degree will incur an “excess hours”surcharge for any credit hours beyond 120 percent of the hours required by thatbachelor’s degree program. To avoid the surcharge, work with an advisor to identify the intended transfer program early and enrollin courses required for the intended major.

ChoicesChoicesstart here:start here:

Advisor:An advisor can be your best friend when it comes to planning an educational path. Palm Beach State has two types of advisors: academic advisors, who work in Student Services, and program advisors, who are usually faculty members. An academic advisor is a generalist who can help you choose which courses to take,refer you to additional resources and adviseyou on the transfer requirements of Florida’s colleges and universities. This generalist advisor will refer you to a specialist, or pro-gram advisor, when you choose to pursue programs or degrees that you can complete at Palm Beach State.A note of caution:If you want to pursue a program or degreethat you can complete at Palm Beach State, but you think there may be even a possibility of pursuing additional education in the future,choose your courses carefully with the help of an academic advisor. When in doubt, alwayssee an academic advisor before consulting with a program representative. Another reason to see an advisor: Under a new state law, students who plan to transfer to a state university for their bachelor’s degree will incur an “excess hours”surcharge for any credit hours beyond 120 percent of the hours required by thatbachelor’s degree program. To avoid the surcharge, work with an advisor to identify the intended transfer program early and enrollin courses required for the intended major.

Areas of Study:Visit this page on the Colleg e website for full descriptions of all programs of study, including course requirements, admission requirements, employment opportunities,contact information and much more. www.palmbeachstate.edu/programs.xml

Articulation:Articulation indicates a formal, writtenagreement between institutions that guarantees the courses taken at the community college will be credited toward a bachelor’s degree. Palm Beach State hasstatewide articulation agreements for theA.A. degree and some articulation agree-ments for certain A.S. programs. www.palmbeachstate.edu/transfer.xml

Transfer:To transfer means to apply college credit toward a higher degree, usually from associate degrees to bachelor’s degrees. See how your Palm Beach State coursestransfer to a Florida university atFACTS.org
