Prior Learning Requirements Defined

Students requesting credit for training are required to complete a Request for Academic Credit and submit a Technical and Professional Training worksheet demonstrating learning attained through workshops, seminars or other training experiences not specifically reviewed by recognized evaluation organizations. Additional documentation or restructuring of student’s petition may be requested before awarding credit.
Students requesting credit for life experience are required to complete a Request for Academic Credit and submit a Prior Learning Portfolio (description below).
1. Student demonstrates how the outcomes of experiential learning are similar to those of a particular course or are equivalent to a degree related elective.
Official transcripts for courses from other institutions, military transcripts and official score reports are required. Transcripts and score reports will be evaluated to determine which credits will transfer to the University and fulfill the requirements of the student’s chosen degree program. Evaluation of credit for prior learning is based on a student’s major and will be reevaluated in the event a student changes major. Credit previously granted may change for a student who changes major.
