Transfers of Credits to BHHEC
- The Black Hills Health & Education Center will accept transfers of credit based on the following criteria:
-
- The school from where credit is being transferred shall provide an official transcript
- The school from where credit is being transferred shall be licensed or approved by the educational licensing authority in the state in which it operates, or be exempt by statute
- Courses for which credit is granted shall be parallel in content and intensity to the courses presently offered by the Black Hill Health & Education Center (we may require supplemental documentation, such as syllabi or course materials)
- If you are interested in receiving transfer credit for previous coursework, please notify our Director of Admissions during the interview process and prepare to submit official transcripts and other documentation to our Program Director for review. To enroll in and prepare to graduate from our full certification program, the maximum number of classes that a student may receive transfer credit for is up to 100 hours of our program. Transfer students pay a $200 transfer fee. Tuition credit will not be issued for the clinical practice portion of our program. Please note that pre-payment discounts apply only to students taking the entire program.
Transferability of Credit Units
Credits or units awarded at this institution may or may not be transferable to institutions of higher learning.
Maintenance of Student Records
All student records will be maintained at the Black Hills Health & Education Center's principal place of business in South Dakota for at least 5 years. The Black Hills Health & Education Center is aware of the confidential nature of students' records, both personal and academic. Information in the student's file or any other information about a student will not be released to a third party without the prior written consent of the student. In the case of dependent students, parents or guardians have rights of access of student educational records under the Family Education and Right to Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1999. All records are securely stored. Students and graduates shall be allowed access to their records. Transcripts shall be released upon written request from students and graduates.
Student Compliant Procedure
At the Black Hills Health & Education Center it is our goal to provide you with the best education possible. Any student concerned about a class issue or grade should first address the class instructor either verbally or in writing. If this is not feasible, the student should state the complaint in writing to the Program Director. All complaints and grievances will be settled in a fair and timely manner.
