Students can earn credit for some courses by demonstrating knowledge received through earning industry credentials. Students interested in receiving credit for this type of prior experience should provide a copy of a certificate of completed training, a lesson plan or training content (if available), dates of attendance, proficiency exam scores, and/or other applicable information to the department chair/program coordinator. Demonstration of knowledge may also be required by some departments through department assessments. Credit will only be awarded to training that has been completed within the last five years.
