Prior Learning Portfolio Assessment

Prior leaning portfolio assessment is available for a select number of courses to students who are able to demonstrate proficiency in the course learning outcomes through related employment and other noncollegiate experience. Students must request or confirm their intention to submit a portfolio no later than the end of their first semester (first three terms) and prior to accessing the selected course. Students must be approved by academic staff by meeting one or more of the following exam eligibility criteria:

  • Relevant certification or licensure
  • Related coursework or professional training
  • Expired transfer credit
  • Related employment/military experience

Students should refer to the Tuition and Fees section of the catalog for information regarding fees for Prior Learning Portfolio Assessment. Students that have received prior learning credit by any other means may not request or receive credit through portfolio assessment. Credit earned as a result of portfolio assessment earns a grade of EC and does not impact a student’s GPA but will count towards credits attempted and earned.
