Students must complete at least 25 percent of the credit hours required for their program of study in residence with CCC&TI in order for the college to award the degree, diploma, or certificate.

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. Students must enroll at CCC&TI within two years of high school graduation date. Students must provide official high school transcript and CTE post assessment scores. A grade of AC will be posted on the transcript. Credit hours will be granted, but no quality points will be given. CLEP (College Level Examination Program)/DSST (DANTES) CCC&TI offers college credit for the subject area examinations included in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DSST (DANTES). The student must provide official test scores before credit is granted. Credit must be applicable to the student’s current degree or diploma requirements. If CLEP (CL) or DSST/DANTES (DT) credit is granted, credit hours will be noted on the student’s transcript, but no quality points will be awarded. 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).

Students will not be awarded financial aid for continuing education courses converted to curriculum credit retroactively. When continuing and curriculum education classes meet simultaneously with the same instructor, the instructor will complete and submit both continuing education and curriculum education attendance and final grade rosters. Continuing education students will earn a grade that represents satisfactory completion of all course work at a level corresponding to a “C” or higher in the equivalent curriculum course. Curriculum students will earn letter grades as detailed in the CCC&TI catalog and outlined in the course syllabus. When continuing education students are participating in a continuing education course that is approved for potential curriculum credit equivalency, instructors will assign a grade that represents satisfactory completion of all course work at a level corresponding to a “C” or higher in the equivalent curriculum course Students who attempt the curriculum course and fail may not request articulated credit for the comparable continuing education course.

A portfolio is “a formal communication” presented by a student as a request for prior learning credit. Prior learning assessment by portfolio assessment will follow a course-equivalency credit model. Departments offering prior learning assessment by portfolio will establish rubrics to guide faculty assessment and scoring.

If a department offers credit by examination, no eligible student can be refused the opportunity to take the exam for course credit.

RN to BSN Articulation Agreement Transfer Credit Appeal Procedure . Steps in Filing an Appeal Step #1: By the last day of classes of the first semester for which admission is offered , the student must submit an RN to BSN Transfer Credit Appeal Form along with any supporting documentation to the Director of Admissions or other campus designee at the UNC campus to which the student has been admitted. Students first enrolling at the senior institution in a summer session must submit their appeal by the end of the subsequent fall semester. The student must specify on the appeal form the specific RN to BSN AA language that is in contention. Appeals that lack this information will not be considered. The Director of Admission or other campus designee will review the appeal and respond in writing (email or letter) to the student within 15 business days. Step #2: If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the Director of Admission or other campus designee, he/she may appeal on the same form to the Chief Academic Officer (Provost) of the specific University within 15 days of written notice of the director’s decision. The Provost will review the appeal and respond in writing (email or letter) to the student within 15 business days of receiving the student’s appeal. Step #3 If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the Provost, he/she may appeal to the RNBSNTC subcommittee, composed of the Co-chairs, a representative from the UNC General Administration, and a representative from the NCCCS. The student must submit the appeal to the subcommittee within 15 days of the receipt of the Provost’s decision.
