Gain Credit for Previous Learning

Experiential Learning Credit (ELC) is college credit awarded for learning that takes place outside the traditional college classroom. The emphasis for credit is on learning and NOT experience. The learning may have been gained through work, training, or licensure experience. The ELC Handbook is designed to assist you in determining if you qualify for ELC. The ELC Handbook includes:

  • all policies
  • the ELC application
  • required evidence to verify that the objectives have been met, and
  • the rubrics used for evaluation
