The student must provide official test scores and or official transcripts to the Registrar for evaluation. Advanced Placement The college grants credit for the Advanced Placement Examinations conducted by the College Board. These examinations may be taken prior to the student’s high school graduation, and the official scores must be sent to the Registrar for evaluation. By scoring 3 or higher on the appropriate Advanced Placement Examination, students will be awarded credit for approved courses. The grade of AP will be posted on the transcript, and credit hours will be granted, but no quality points will be given. Articulated Credit CCC&TI awards college credit for identified high school courses based on criteria outlined in the North Carolina High School to Community College Articulation Agreement. All criteria below must be met for college credit to be awarded. Grade of “B” or higher in the course. A converted score of 93 or higher on the standardized CTE post assessment.

Information on the acceptance scores is available in Student Services. Proficiency Examination Students enrolled at CCC&TI who are qualified to accelerate their studies because of their demonstrated abilities may receive proficiency credit by examination for some of their curriculum courses. The proficiency examination process is used for a student desiring credit for prior learning. Students may not use this examination to repeat a course, nor may the student repeat the examination. The student wishing to receive credit must petition the dean under whom the course is offered. If the dean deems the course suitable for proficiency credit, the student may receive permission to take the examination developed by the dean and appropriate instructors. For those students in their last semester prior to fulfilling the qualifications for graduation, application for proficiency credit must be made at least 20 calendar days prior to the end of the semester. The test must be taken within the next 15 calendar days. Appeals for exception may be made to the vice president of instruction. The dean will decide the appropriate score demonstrating competence in the course and, in all courses, the final score must equal a “C,” or better. If the examination is passed, the student will earn credit hours toward graduation but no quality points. A grade of “CR” (Credit by examination) will be indicated on the student’s transcript. If the examination is not passed, no notation will be made on the transcript. “CR” credit is not guaranteed to transfer and does not meet Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) requirements. Awarding Curriculum Credit for Prior Learning In cases where the learning outcomes of a current, CCC&TI continuing education course or industry-recognized credential/prior learning experience align with the learning outcomes of a curriculum course(s), credit may be given. These courses and credentials must be pre-approved by the appropriate program coordinator/director, dean, and Chief Academic Officer. Students wanting to receive credit for industry-recognized credentials or CCC&TI continuing education courses should contact Student Services to determine if a credential or continuing education course qualifies for academic credit. Students who receive continuing education training at CCC&TI may request curriculum credit for approved courses under certain conditions as listed below. The continuing education course requires at least the same student learning outcomes as the curriculum course as documented on the course syllabus. The continuing education course is comparable in hours of instruction to the curriculum course as documented on the course syllabus. The credentials of the continuing education course instructor meet the CCC&TI Faculty Credential Policy for the equivalent curriculum course. The continuing education course requires assessment of course work using metrics comparable to the equivalent curriculum course, evaluation of performance by exam, and attendance as documented on the course syllabus. Only CCC&TI continuing education courses that have been pre-approved by the appropriate academic department will be considered for curriculum credit equivalency. Only continuing education units with a satisfactory or equivalency to a grade of “C” that have been earned within the last five years as documented on a CCC&TI transcript will be considered. No more than 75 percent of a degree, diploma, or certificate may be earned with continuing education units that have been accepted for curriculum credit; the final 25 percent of any credential must be earned by completing curriculum education credit courses. Students requesting curriculum credit must meet admission requirements, be admitted into an associate in applied science degree, diploma, or certificate program of study, and be currently enrolled in at least one curriculum course in the degree program past the census date (10 percent date of the semester).

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) Policy Mitchell Community College has established a process for awarding credit for college-level learning obtained through prior learning experiences other than curriculum coursework. Credit for prior learning may be awarded when a student produces prior learning documentation that meets or exceeds a demonstration of the learning outcomes established as our College’s standards for awarding credit for corresponding curriculum course(s). The following criteria is applied to the review of a student’s submitted documentation requesting credit for prior learning: Mitchell may only award curriculum credit for prior learning that is directly applicable to a student’s declared curriculum program of study Credit for prior learning for advanced courses does not negate the requirement to meet requisite learning outcomes Credit for prior learning may be used to fulfill program requirements except for mandatory institutional requirements No greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of credit hours required for graduation from a curriculum program of study may be earned through credit for prior learning Any credit for prior learning awarded by Mitchell shall be reflected in the student’s records by the Registrar without quality points assigned except for allowances for graded military credit To be eligible to receive credit for prior learning, students must meet all of the following criteria: Meet all admission requirements for their program of study Be enrolled in a curriculum program to which the credit will directly apply; and Request a prior learning assessment consistent with Mitchell’s credit for prior learning procedures and provide all documentation by published deadlines To obtain credit for prior learning, a student must consult with their assigned advisor first. If the advisor recommends the student proceed, the student may be required to submit a Credit for Prior Learning Request Form. The Credit for Prior Learning Request Form is available in Student Services.

Transfer Credit To be considered for CCC&TI credit, courses must have been taken at a regionally accredited institution and must show a grade of “C” or better. Certain exceptions may be made. Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses in which a student has received a grade for credit by exam or has been granted credit for proficiency placement exam. Notification of transfer credit granted will be sent to the student prior to the end of the first semester of enrollment. If applicable credit has been accepted from another institution, transfer students may be exempt from some of the admission placement tests. A grade point average for graduation, honors, and continuing enrollment is computed only for courses taken at CCC&TI. For information on advanced standing by placement, see Credit by Examination.

Exclusions for VA education benefits Audited courses Independent study courses Credits by exam Courses taken outside of the curriculum Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded Repeated courses with a passing grade or any other courses not counted toward graduation will not be used in calculating hours for payment purposes.

All credit hours attempted, including transfer credit, are to be considered in computing Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Standards, even during periods when the student was not an aid recipient.
