5. There shall be a charge of $25 for each portfolio reviewed to assess experiential learning for college credit. Documentation must be provided for each course for which credit through experiential learning is requested, and the $25 fee applies to each review of the documentation (e.g., an individual is charged $50 if the person is seeking credit through experiential learning for two courses and thereby requires portfolio reviews relative to those two courses). Students seeking credit for academic transfer courses through examination or nationally recognized guidelines are not charged fees for PLA or for credits awarded through PLA. 6. Not more than 25% of total credit required for any program may be awarded as a result of PLA. Credit awarded through PLA does not count toward the minimum of 25 percent of semester credit hours that must be completed at the college granting the degree.
Before receiving course credit through PLA, an individual must meet enrollment requirements of the course.
Credit may not be awarded twice for the same learning.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
A maximum of 20 hours of non-traditional credit may be awarded and applied toward graduation. Applicants must have their test scores sent directly to the Office of Admissions and Enrollment Management from the appropriate testing agency.
