I am applying for credit for learning that occurred in Institutional Credit by Exam, Professional Training, Industry Certification and Licensure, or Faculty Evaluation.

Criteria

  • A maximum of 45 semester hours earned by PLA can be applied to a degree; up to 50 percent of the hours required for a Certificate of Achievement.
  • Credits earned through PLA do not count toward the College’s academic residency requirements.
  • Credit will not be granted if a student is currently enrolled in or has previously earned credit for an equivalent course.
  • Students should be aware that Credit by Proficiency may not transfer to other colleges and universities.
  • Credit will be recorded after the refund period of the student’s first semester of enrollment.
  • Academic Deans, Asst. Deans, and program directors, in consultation with the appropriate faculty, will be authorized to review the documentation and award credit for prior learning for the programs within their purview in fulfillment of requirements of degrees and certificates.
