Credit for Prior Learning Program
This program is designed to offer the adult learner an opportunity to apply learning earned through life and work experiences toward graduation. Individuals may receive college credit for prior learning experiences from a variety of work, military, volunteer, and other activities. These non-college activities must be evaluated to determine if college credit may be granted. The process may require students to enroll in the ASC 180 Prior Learning Assessment portfolio course. For specific questions, contact an academic counselor.
