ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF CREDIT AND ADVANCED STANDING<br />
Students may seek advanced standing credit by (1) transferring credit earned at other<br />
accredited colleges or universities, (2) receiving credit for courses and training completed in the<br />
military, criminal justice academies, technology certification programs, and health services<br />
certification programs, (3) taking and achieving acceptable scores on standardized tests and<br />
examinations (including the ETS Advanced Placement Examinations, CLEP, DANTES, and the<br />
International Baccalaureate), (4) submitting documentation for life experiences deemed<br />
equivalent to college courses, and (5) by passing locally designed and administered tests<br />
(credit‐by‐examination). To be eligible to apply for advanced credit, a <strong>student</strong> must be<br />
admitted to the college and officially placed in a curriculum.<br />
Students who wish to request credit for life experiences must register for SDV 198‐Portfolio<br />
Development. Students who are interested in credit‐by‐examination should contact the<br />
appropriate academic division dean. The credit‐by‐examination fee is $25.00 per credit hour.<br />
Students who believe that their previous educational studies, training programs, or work<br />
experiences may be equivalent to the content of college courses should contact their faculty<br />
advisors or Counseling Services. For additional information on advanced standing and creditby‐examination,<br />
<strong>student</strong>s should reference the Credit‐By‐Examination Procedures in this<br />
handbook.<br />
