Credit for Prior Learning is coordinated through Global Campus . Credit for prior college level learning that is not documented through academic transcript may be earned through advanced placement, standardized and departmental challenge exams, validation and proficiency assessments.  Students may apply for academic credit for prior college level learning through personal achievements and professional expertise.  Assessment of portfolios are done on a course-by-course basis, either by Andrews University faculty evaluators or through the Council on Adult and Experiential Learning.

The Director of the Center for Adult Degree Completion serves as the Prior Learning Coordinator for all Andrews University colleges. First discuss prior learning with your academic advisor, then contact the Adult Education Center for coaching in preparing for departmental challenge exams, validation of certification or other documentation, or portfolio preparation.
