Advanced standing may be granted (1) without credit by exempting students from some courses but not reducing the total number of academic credits required for the degree, or (2) with credit by reducing the number of credits required for the degree. Advanced standing refers to decisions about students’ competence when no transcripts of graduate credit are presented. Advanced standing with credit is granted only after appropriate means of assessment of a student’s knowledge, competence, or skills that would normally be provided by the specific courses for which they have been admitted with advanced standing. Advanced standing with credit cannot be granted on the basis of ministerial or life experience and may not fulfill more than one‐fourth of the total credits for a degree program.	2026	www.hchc.edu
