Flexible Ways to Earn Undergraduate Credit College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The School of Continuing Studies awards credit based on acceptable performance on specified tests of the College Level Examination Program. Generally, a student may not attempt credit by examination for a course in which a failing grade was received or for a basic course in those areas in which acceptable college credit has been earned at a more advanced level. For information about general and subject examinations, contact the School of Continuing Studies.
American Council on Education (ACE)
ACE’s College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT) reviews and offers college-level credit recommendations for many training courses, apprenticeship programs and examination. An official ACE Credit Recommendations Transcript must be submitted directly to the School of Continuing Studies for review of the equivalency and transfer. For more information on ACE or to order a transcript contact the web site at http://www.acenet.edu.
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
The School of Continuing Studies participates in the Advance Placement program of the College Board. A student that successfully completed AP examinations prior to their entry in a college-level program may have official scores submitted to the University for review. Scores submitted within ten years of completion of the examination will be considered for the quivalency and transfer of credit. To order test scores contact www.ETS.org.
Independent Study
An independent study is a course taken with faculty supervision for knowledge enhancement beyond the courses offered in a particular area of interest. In rare cases, when scheduling or other conflicts exist, a regular course may be taken as an independent study. Independent study courses may be used in the Areas of Study and General Distribution and may be used to enhance courses in the major. Consult with your academic advisor before applying to earn credit by independent study.
Transfer Credit
Courses offered in transfer will be evaluated for acceptance provided the work was taken at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a recognized regional accrediting body for higher education at the time the course work is completed. A grade of or equivalent to C (2.0) or better must have been earned in the particular course. Course work accepted in transfer shall be applied to specific degree requirements subject to the discretion of the School of Continuing Studies. Transfer work will be accepted during the final semester of a program only with prior approval. CLEP exams are considered transfer credits. Additional information on our transfer policy is located in the current edition of our catalog. Portfolio Assessment of Prior Learning Yet another way for students to earn academic credit is by portfolio assessment of prior learning. This involves developing a learning portfolio that demonstrates college-level learning that occurred on the job or during training, through volunteer work or by other means. By preparing and submitting a learning portfolio, SCS students can earn up to 30 credits toward a bachelor’s degree and 15 credits toward an associate’s degree. Six hours of portfolio credit may be applied toward the certificate or toward the major. Students become eligible to submit portfolios after completing 12 semester hours at the University of Richmond. Additional information on portfolio assessment of prior learning is located in the current edition of our catalog.
