2006 - 2007 / 2007 - 2008 Catalog 2006-2007 Catalog Year (Archived) Credit for Experiential Learning
Experiential learning allows students to receive college credit for equivalent educational experiences acquired through earlier schooling situations, work/on the job training: or life experiences. Upon enrolling in one of the Dallas County Community Colleges, a student may petition for a review of their experiential learning experiences. Experiential learning credits may be earned through a portfolio assessment: through enrollment in an existing section of a course (after consultation with the instructor) and develop an individualized plan for participation and testing based on the instructor's evaluation of skill and experience levels; through recommendations of the College Credit Recommendation Service of the American Council on Education; or any one of several other experiential learning opportunities.
The number of equivalent credits awarded may not exceed 25% of the total number of credits required for the specific degree or certificate. No graduation, residency, degree or certificate program requirements will be waived as a result of credits earned through this process.
