Credit for Prior Learning

The College may grant credit for prior learning when students demonstrate college level achievement through an examination. Hours granted to students for credit by exam will apply toward Western Piedmont Community College graduation requirements only. Students shall earn no grade points for such credit, nor will they be able to transfer credits received by exam. In no case shall the combined total of any transfer credit hours, credits by examination, or course substitutions exceed 75% of the number of hours required for the degree or diploma to which students are applying those credits.

Refer to the Credit by Exam page for a partial list of acceptable examinations.
