Credit for Prior Learning
Salina Area Technical College recognizes the validity of prior learning which took place outside the traditional college classroom. Therefore, we have a policy and process in place to allow students to be awarded college credit for learning which took place through activities such as on-the-job training, serving in the military, advanced level courses completed while in high school, volunteering, and credit by examination. Some specific examples of credit for prior learning include:
-
-
Advanced Placement (AP) Exams
-
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Exams
-
Credit by Examination (sometimes referred to as “quiz-out” exams)
-
International Baccalaureate (IB) Programs
-
Military Credit – (credit based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations)
-
Portfolio Review of life experience such as on-the-job training
-
