Academic credit is not given for coursework taken on a noncredit basis unless demonstrated by acceptable test results. Various credit options enable persons who have acquired knowledge and skills in non-traditional ways to demonstrate academic achievement (Reference 1).

Credit may be given for college-level experience as demonstrated by acceptable test results, regardless of the means by which the knowledge was acquired, except for college credit that has been previously granted. Students may also receive credit for selected military training. Without permission from the Vice President of Academic Affairs, no more than 18 hours of non-traditional college credit may be counted toward a degree. Non-traditional college credit will be transcripted only after six hours of traditional, non-transfer credit is achieved at CCCCD.

Additional information regarding College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations, departmental examinations, advanced placement tests, Tech Prep, armed forces credit, and credit for the completion of Certified Professional Secretaries examination is available through the Director of Testing or the Admissions and Records Office (References 2, 3).
