2. ACC, the other institution and the student will attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board guidelines.

If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the other institution at which the credit was earned within 45 days after the date the student received written notice of the denial, ACC will notify the Commissioner of Higher Education of the State of Texas of the denial and the reason for the denial.

4. The Commissioner of Higher Education or the Commissioner’s designee shall make the final determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice of the determination to the involved student and the institutions.
