ACE Credit

ECPI University will evaluate and may award credit earned through professional, vocational and technical noncollegiate coursework, prior work experience and examinations based on the American Council on Education’s (ACE) recommendations. 

The American Council on Education evaluates and validates prior learning and skills developed outside the traditional classroom to provide colleges and universities with postsecondary academic credit equivalencies based on faculty expertise. Credit that is awarded for transfer must be applicable to the student’s degree or diploma program; determined to be substantially equivalent in content to the ECPI University course; equivalent in credits to the ECPI University course; and completed within the past ten years. General education or arts and sciences coursework may be eligible to transfer without a time limitation. Specific course time limitations may vary based on programmatic requirements. Applicants who wish to have ACE credit recommendations evaluated for college credit should complete a signed Request for Official Transcripts form during the enrollment process for applicable institutions or make an Official request to have a copy of their Official ACE transcript sent to ECPI. https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Seeking-Credit.aspx
