Upon evaluation of the student's professional portfolio, the dean of the program may award three prior learning experience credits, or may require that the student take a series of three 1-credit professional portfolio seminars.

Professional Portfolio Development or Prior Learning Experience Credit The King Graduate School recognizes that significant learning can occur outside of the classroom through relevant career, training, extracurricular, or personal experiences. Prior to accepting a student for admission into the MS Executive Leadership in Hospitality Management program, it must be determined if the candidate has an experience base commensurate with the institution’s requirements for prior learning experience credit. To determine eligibility for prior learning experience credits, candidates submit a portfolio for review by the end of the first August residency. It must reference the specific competencies learned and provide evidence of how they relate to the program of study. The portfolio must include detailed descriptions of the experience, including but not limited to, the work performed, the responsibilities of the candidate during the experience, what was learned, and any formal credentials resulting from the experience. Once the portfolio is evaluated by the dean and faculty, the student will either be granted 3 credits for prior learning experience or be required to complete 3 credits of Professional Portfolio Development articulated as three 1-credit courses taken over the Fall, Winter, and Spring semesters, with the final portfolio being submitted at the end of the Spring semester. 3

The following types of advanced standing credit are NOT considered Residence Credits: Transfer Credits Credit by External Examination Prior Learning Credits

All transfer, proficiency, and prior learning credits count as attempted credits and credits earned but do not count toward the student's GPA.

Monroe College policy provides opportunities for students with various prior educational experiences to receive credit and earn advanced standing based on evaluation by the Office of the Registrar in collaboration with the appropriate School or academic department. Advanced standing credits are not considered Residence Credits, are subject to limits dictated by the Residence Credit minimum policy described above, and do not carry forward actual letter grades or letter grade values and, therefore, do not count in the student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA). (In certain circumstances, with the approval of the Registrar, a grade earned at another institution may be substituted.) Transfer Credit In order to receive transfer credit, an official transcript must be sent by the student’s prior institution(s) to the Office of the Registrar. International students may be required to have their transcripts evaluated by an independent evaluation agency or an evaluation service that is a member of the National Association of Credentials Evaluations Services (NACES), to determine the level of the work completed, the subject matter, number of equivalent credits and grade. The following guidelines are applied when awarding transfer credit: A grade of C or better is required for transfer credits. Students transferring from two-year institutions to a bachelor’s degree program may transfer a maximum of 66 credits, none of which may be used to satisfy upper level major area courses, unless approved by the School Dean. Monroe College accepts for transfer credit military experience and training based on the American Council on Education’s recommendations and the student’s program of study. The College also evaluates other non-traditional training programs and may accept transfer credit based on recommendations made by the American Council on Education or the National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS). Prior Learning Credit Monroe College provides an opportunity for students to obtain up to 12 credits for learning that occurs as a result of career or personal experiences. Prior learning credit will be awarded upon presentation of a formal portfolio by the student who demonstrates how the “experience” relates to the student’s program of study. The experience alone is not sufficient to warrant advanced standing credits being awarded. Students may not apply for prior learning credit that specifically includes knowledge contained in a course previously attempted at Monroe in any manner.

Proficiency Examination Credit Students may request Proficiency Examinations for courses for which they believe they have mastery of the content from the Dean of the School or Director of the Academic Department.
