Credit Options
Mount Marty College is committed to providing alternate delivery systems of education for persons for whom
traditional educational opportunities are not appropriate, available, convenient or possible. In support of this commitment, we
offer the following options to students:
Credit for Prior Learning Assessment
Students may apply for credit for past personal or professional experiences (career and personal experiences, job
related activities, travel, foreign residence, community service, training received through on-the-job instruction, self-study or
specialized schooling) that have resulted in the attainment of college-level competencies. Students must have full admission
status before being considered for Credit for Prior Learning Assessment. There is no limit to the amount of assessment credit a
student can receive, but assessed credit does not meet the residency requirement. Assessed credit must be directly related to the
degree being pursued. Assessment fee payment is due when the portfolio is submitted.
Credit for Military Service
Mount Marty College uses the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational
Experiences in the Armed Services to recognize learning acquired through courses taken during military service.
Credit by Examination
Some academic departments provide campus-developed challenge examinations.
CLEP
Mount Marty College is an authorized Limited Test Center for the administration of the College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) Subject Area Examinations. These national examinations cover a wide range of subject matter areas.
Dean’s List
At the end of each fall and spring semester, all full-time undergraduate students completing a full-time load of graded
coursework (with no incompletes) with a minimum term grade point average of 3.5 will be named to the Dean’s List.
Disabilities
Mount Marty College takes great pride in the academic achievements of its students and is committed to ensuring equal
learning opportunities for all students. Students with disabilities may request reasonable and appropriate accommodations
through Disability Services. The Disability Services office, housed in the Student Counseling Center, seeks to provide students
with equal access to their Mount Marty College education in accordance with the College’s procedures, Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Examinations
Midterm week is designated as a time for oral and/or written evaluation of course work. During this time, faculty
members often schedule individual conferences with their students to review academic performance.
Dates of final exams are specified in the college calendar and specific final exam schedule is posted on the registrar’s
office website. In case of an emergency, a student may request a change in time for a final exam. The student must submit the
request to the instructor.
