Petition for Credit for Prior Learning

Ways to Petition for Credit for Prior Learning

It is possible for SVCC students to petition for credit for prior learning. A maximum of 30 credits gained
through any prior learning can be used toward a degree and up to 50 percent of the credits earned
through prior learning may be applied toward a certificate at SVCC. Note that acceptance of credit for
prior learning varies among transfer institutions.

Credit by Evaluation of Work Experience, Technical/Vocational Training, or Other Learning Experiences

Credit by Evaluation certifies knowledge gained through work experience, technical or vocational training, and other learning experiences. First, relevant work experience in which a body of knowledge is parallel to SVCC courses will be evaluated by an appropriate faculty member and an academic dean. Second, based on the recommendations of the faculty member and academic dean, credit may be given by the Vice-President of Academics and Student Services. A maximum of 15 semester hours may be earned through evaluation of work experience, technical/vocational training, or other learning experiences.

If approved $20 per College Credit will be payable to the Sauk Valley Community College Business Office.
