| Credit for Prior Learning Policy | prior_learning | Credit for Prior Learning Policy Germanna Community College believes that a student’s prior college-level learning and experience can be recognized and applied to their program of study, potentially saving time and money. Credit for prior learning is only applicable towards curriculum requirements at Germanna Community College and does not fulfill the College’s residency requirement. If a student plans to transfer, the student must work with an advisor and/or counselor to review the transfer policies at the destination school. Official transcripts or documents can be sent by mail to Enrollment Services, Germanna Community College, 10000 Germanna Point Drive, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. Electronic transcripts may arrive faster and can be sent to transcripts@germanna.edu . Credit for prior learning may be obtained in the following ways: Transfer Credit: Coursework transferred to Germanna Community College must represent collegiate coursework applicable to the student’s curriculum, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in Germanna’s curricula. Collegiate coursework from regionally accredited institutions typically meets the above criteria. The evaluation of transcripts is intended as a service to students who are pursuing academic programs at Germanna Community College. It is not intended as a means of credentialing students or providing documentation for job promotions, etc. Students must have completed at least one course at Germanna before an official transcript reflecting credit for prior learning will be issued. No credit will be given for courses with grades lower than C. Technical and computer classes taken more than five years ago will not be accepted for transfer credits. A student enrolling at Germanna Community College who has been awarded a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited American institution is eligible to be granted transfer credit for ENG 111 , ENG 112 , and SDV 100 in addition to other applicable credits. The student must be in a curricular program and must submit official transcripts showing the conferral date of the degree. A waiver consisting of 7 credits will then be posted by Admissions and Records, thereby negating the need to complete ENG 111 , ENG 112 , and an SDV class. Students must still complete an additional 7 credits toward their selected credential. An academic advisor can assist inidentifying appropriate course options to fulfill this requirement.These students will also be expected to know or learn different bibliographic writing styles that they may or may not have experienced before attending Germanna. Regarding transfer credit options for students who are applying with previous course work completed at an accredited college or university in a foreign nation whose language of instruction is English (ex. Canada, England, Australia, etc.), full credit should be given to course work with course equivalency to ENG 111 and/or ENG 112 where applicable. Regarding transfer credit options for students who are applying with previous course work completed at an accredited college or university in a foreign nation whose language of instruction is a language other than English, credit disbursement will be dependent upon the student’s ability to pass the VPT or other equivalent placement testing used by Germanna and the recommendation of three to five full-time English faculty members based upon a writing selection submission. If the student places into ENG 111 after completing the college placement test, the student will be given the option to submit a selection of no less than three collegiate-level writing examples. These writing examples are to be scholarly essays, at least one of which must include academic-level research and adhere to one of the primary formatting models (ex., MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.). Credit can be awarded to the student for either ENG 111 alone or ENG 111 and ENG 112 together based upon the recommendation of the panel of full-time English faculty members. The student is responsible for providing Germanna with a transcript that has been evaluated by an international credentialing service (such as World Education Services/WES or Global Credential Evaluators/GCE). To transfer credit to another college or university, please review their policy for advanced standing/credit for prior learning. Every school has a different standard for accepting transfer credit, credit by exam, and portfolio credit. Credit by Exam: Credit may be awarded for the successful completion of certain nationally recognized exams such as Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) and International Baccalaureate (IB) as well as approved institutionally developed challenge exams known as ABLE exams (Assessment by Local Examination). Assessment by Local Exam (ABLE) Using exams prepared by GCC faculty, Assessment by Local Exam (ABLE) allows students to receive credit for courses by demonstrating they have acquired the competencies through prior education or other experiences. In most cases, students must contact the department offering the exam to determine if they are qualified to take the exam; they may have to meet certain background requirements in order to qualify. There is no charge for ABLE exams or for having credit recorded on the student’s permanent record. Credits earned through ABLE exams do not count toward the College residency requirement and may or may not transfer to other institutions of higher education. Currently, GCC has one ABLE exam. The Student Development Assessment by Local Exam (SDV ABLE) allows students to receive one credit for the SDV course requirement by demonstrating they have acquired the competencies through prior education or other experiences. The Credit for Prior Learning option includes two parts: (1) the SDV ABLE EXAM on content covered in the SDV 100 course; and (2) the completion of a receipt form with signature acknowledging the student has received a copy of the College’s Student Handbook. To be eligible to take the SDV ABLE Exam option, students must be transferring into Germanna from another accredited institution of higher education with a minimum of 24 credits but with no completed degree. Students must meet additional criteria as well, so students should contact the Assistant Dean of Student Development in order to determine eligibility for this option. ABLE Exam GCC Course Credits SDV ABLE SDV 100: College Success Skills 1 Credit for Military Training: Military students can use Credit2Careers.org to learn about Germanna programs and potential credit awards for military training and experience. Credit may be awarded as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) as those credits fit into the specific curriculum selected by the student. Students with experience in the Army, Coast Guard, Marines, National Guard, and Navy must request a review of their military training and experience to be transcribed through the Joint Services Transcript , while students with experience in the Air Force must request their Community College of the Air Force transcript. Two physical education credits may be awarded to a student who can provide their DD214, if they are unable to retrieve transcripts any other way. Transcripts may be sent to: Office of Enrollment Services, Germanna Community College, 10000 Germanna Point Drive, Fredericksburg, VA 22408 or transcripts@germanna.edu. Credit for Other Courses Credit may be awarded for courses that do not meet the College’s normal criteria for transfer per established articulation agreements or as recommended by the ACE, typically in the applied degree programs. See below for specific guidelines on articulated credit for particular programs. Official transcripts or documents can be sent from the issuing institution by mail to the Office of Enrollment Services, Germanna Community College, 10000 Germanna Point Drive, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. Electronic transcripts may arrive faster and can be directed to transcripts@germanna.edu. Experiential Learning Portfolio Credit Students with a range of significant life experiences may already possess learning equivalent to college-level coursework. These experiences may be converted into one or more Germanna Community College courses, up to 15 credit hours, through the creation and evaluation of portfolios documenting the experience and how it meets course learning outcomes. Possible learning experiences meriting college credit include work, military service, volunteering, travel, and independent study. NOTE: Students should be aware that experiential learning credit through the portfolio process may not be accepted at all institutions. Those planning to transfer should verify the policies of their desired four-year institution BEFORE pursuing portfolio credit. Students interested in gaining credit for experiential learning should take the following steps: Review the course content summary for each course for which you would like to gain credit and verify that your experience meets all course outcomes listed. The Credit for Prior Learning Advisor can assist you in making this determination. Student will take a portfolio writing class and submit that portfolio for evaluation. The current option is an instructor-led, online course from another VCCS College. Industry Credentials and Certificates Germanna participated in a project to evaluate professional credentials for academic credit.
