What is a SOCCOAST “home college?
A home college is the SOCCOAST college where you begin your studies and complete the minimum academic residency; you do not have to take more than 25 percent of the program with your home college, and these courses can be taken with the college at any time and anywhere even at sea. (Learning assessment colleges do not have residency requirements.) The home college evaluates your Coast Guard rate and rating and other learning experiences, combining them all into a SOCCOAST Student Agreement that serves as your contract-for-degree. When you have completed your study plan, the home college awards your degree.
