communications tools, and/or networks to access, manage, integrate,
evaluate, and/or create information.

General education outcomes assessment results will be reported in the
aggregate because the results represent the college and not individual
students or faculty. In addition, assessment results will be shared with
faculty, staff, and students. The assessment results are to be regularly and
systematically considered by the faculty, staff, and administrators in order to
take action to improve student learning. General education assessment tools
(tasks and scoring rubrics) and the process will be reviewed every three
years to improve process validity and efficiency.
Alternative Methods for Achieving Course Credit
Credit by Examination
Students enrolled in Sandhills Community College may have developed
knowledge and skills that match the knowledge and skills to be achieved in
certain courses in the College. These achievements may be the result of work
experience, military experience, or informal study.
To receive credit by examination, students must demonstrate proficiency by
taking challenge examinations developed by departmental faculty or a
standardized examination such as the College Level Examination Program
(CLEP) or the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI).
Although any faculty advisor or counselor may initiate a credit by
examination request, the specific courses to which credit by examination
applies will be determined by the instructional departments. Students who
decide that credit by examination is appropriate for their situations must
obtain permission from the chairperson of the department in which the
course is offered. Where applicable, the chairperson will arrange for the
examination to be administered. The Dean of Instruction must approve all
credit awarded by challenge examination.
Students who wish to receive credit by examination through CLEP or
USAFI should submit such certifications to the Director of Records and
Registration. The Office of Records and Registration will evaluate the
certifications in consultation with the appropriate department chairperson.
