先前学习评估
关于
海因兹社区学院 is committed to the idea that people deserve credit for verifiable college-level learning, either knowledge or skills, that have developed through learning outside of the traditional college classroom through life or work experiences.
The PLA (先前学习评估) program is designed to recognize the academic value of what students have learned through experiences outside the college classroom. Credit for prior learning may result from work experience, employment related training programs or military service. If students have gained course equivalent knowledge, 能力, and/or skills as a result of prior learning experiences, they may be able to earn college credit through the PLA program.
Prior Learning can come from many sources, including:
- Military Service Coursework
- Industry Standard 认证s
- High School 的信贷
- 大学先修课程(AP)
- College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
- International Baccalaureate (IB)
- 工作经验
Additional information about receiving credit for Prior Learning is found in the 大学目录.
Military Service Coursework
希德 will conduct an evaluation of educational experiences in the Armed Forces and award postsecondary level credits at the freshman and/or sophomore levels when appropriate. All veterans should submit their Joint Services Transcript (JST) to the Office of BG真人 and 记录 at 希德 as part of their application packet. Notify the Office of 经验丰富的服务 that you have done so, and email PriorLearning@themindbehind.net requesting an evaluation of your JST for possible college credit.

考试或者类似的东西
Advanced Placement exams are taken after students complete the corresponding AP course in high school. To qualify for college credit, students must earn an appropriate passing score on the nationally administered exam. 学分 will not be awarded for examinations that duplicate course work or other exam credits previously posted to a student’s academic record. Students who wish to receive AP credits should submit official test scores from the College Board to the BG真人 and 记录 Office.
CLEP provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate competency in specific subjects and thereby earn college credit for courses without enrolling in those classes. CLEP tests are administered throughout the year at the 海因兹社区学院 Assessment Center. 测试前, students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to ensure potential course credits will fulfill degree requirements.
Official test scores should be submitted to the BG真人 and 记录 Office. For more information, emailing PriorLearning@themindbehind.net is a great starting place.
The International Baccalaureate program is a challenging curriculum offered in high schools around the world that is designed to prepare students for advanced work in many countries’ postsecondary systems. Students who wish to receive (IB) credits should submit official transcripts to the BG真人 and 记录 Office. 联系 PriorLearning@themindbehind.net 有问题的.
