Credit for Academically Relevant
Learning
Many students have acquired “experiential
learning” outside a formal college or university
classroom in jobs, military service or nonaccredited
institutions.
Dexter Hanley College provides opportunities
for students to earn credit for such experiences.
A maximum of 30 credits will be
awarded for extra-institutional learning,
excluding military credit. This includes CLEP,
Excelsior College Examination, ACE-approved
credit, portfolio credit, and PONSI credit.
(Advanced-placement credit is considered
separately.)
Students wishing to have this learning
assessed for possible credit will enroll in a onesemester
course, EDUC 101, to document
relevant experiences and the knowledge gained
from them for departmental review. Faculty
evaluators from the appropriate department(s)
will evaluate the portfolio and may recommend
a credit award for students’ learning.
For further information, contact a Dexter
Hanley College advisor at (570) 941-7580.

Fundamentals of Adult Development
and Experiential Learning
The course provides learners with a basic knowledge
of adult learning and development theories
as a framework for understanding themselves as
learners. Through self-assessment of their learning
styles, personality factors, value systems,
interests, and previously acquired learning, they
will gain an understanding of the factors which
facilitate and/or inhibit their pursuit of higher
learning. This course also assists learners in
developing a portfolio of their learning experiences
to be reviewed for college. Dexter Hanley
