INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
Lake Washington Institute of Technology recognizes the
International Baccalaureate (IB) program as a challenging
course of study and responds individually to each
participant’s request for award of college credit. Students
may be awarded credit for completing individual areas of
study within the IB program. IB students should submit
official IB transcripts to the Enrollment Services office
(W201). Information on transfer credit award for IB exams
can be found on line.
PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT
Prior learning is the knowledge and skills gained
through: work and life experience; military training
and experience; and formal and informal education
and training from in-state and out-of-state institutions,
including foreign institutions. Identifying credit for prior
learning can be accomplished by an assessment process
conducted by qualified faculty and may result in a course
or several courses being posted to your transcript.
Up to 25% of the credits for a degree or certificate may be
earned through the PLA process. Awarding of PLA credits by
Lake Washington Institute of Technology does not guarantee
or imply that other institutions will accept such credit.
Forms are available in the Enrollment Services Office.
