Get Course Credit for Experience
At MVNU, we appreciate that our students bring a lot of valuable experience to the table — not just from a traditional college classroom setting. That's why we offer prior learning credit (PLC) for things like extra-institutional learning, military training, professional licenses, certain test scores, and more.
Through a Prior Learning Assessment, your counselor will determine the value and course equivalency of all PLCs and add them to your transcript.
Experience that could qualify includes:
- Seminars
- Military Training
- On-the-job technical and professional training
- Standardized exams, including the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests
- Professional licensure
- Corporate and/or professional training, including courses sponsored by businesses, industry, the armed forces, professional schools, and other credible government associations and agencies
- Specific government and industry training programs
- Other activities with credible associations and agencies.
Submissions for prior learning credit must include one or more of the following forms of supporting documentation for evaluation:
- Transcripts
- Licenses
- Certificates
- Course syllabi
- Letters from supervisors
- Company training histories
