Credit by Portfolio Assessment
Credit may be granted for prior learning competency(s) through the development of a portfolio which presents evidence of college level learning. A student-prepared portfolio will be assessed by faculty with the appropriate content expertise. The portfolio must include a learning narrative and evidence relevant to the area in which credit is sought. The student will demonstrate clear achievement and a thorough understanding of the learning objectives. This may be accomplished by documenting knowledge obtained through work experience (military or civilian), in-service training programs, volunteer activities, workshops, and personal study. Credit by portfolio is assessed based on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory evaluation and will be assigned a grade of “S or U.” Exceptions to the grading policy may occur with approval of the Academic Dean of the College. Credit earned by portfolio assessment is recognized as residency credit.
