Certification Crosswalks
Credit may be awarded for documented experiential learning outside the college through third-party certifications, industry-recognized testing/training, and crosswalks upon the recommendation of appropriately qualified teaching faculty. Documentation may be in the form of, but not limited to, a licensure or certification document that demonstrates that learning outcomes have been met.
Students wishing to request a certification crosswalk cannot be currently enrolled in or have previously attempted that course. Certifications cannot be expired, and a copy will be requested for evaluation.
Certification crosswalk requests require a non-refundable fee to be paid in advance. The fee is significantly discounted from the cost of tuition for the course.
