Academic Polices and Procedures : Life/Job Experience

Credit for experiential learning through work and life experiences may be granted toward meeting requirements for all undergraduate degrees. Such learning, completed since high school, must be validated by documentation or examinations. These experiences must be appropriate to the degree and the student’s major program. A student applying for life experience credit must file a portfolio documenting experiential learning with the appropriate Instructional Department Chairperson. There must be evidence of learning. Evidence may include written or oral examinations, tapes, projects, demonstrations and performances. Verification of employment and certificates of completion of training should be included where applicable.

In general, life experiences are equated with the learning expected from a formal course in the ASCC Catalog. Final approval of credit rests with the Dean of Instruction. Credit for life experience is limited to 15 semester credit hours.
