3 Credit for Prior Learning Policy Germanna Community College believes that a student's prior college-level learning and experience can be recognized and applied to their program of study, potentially saving time and money. Credit for Prior Learning is only applicable towards curriculum requirements at Germanna Community College and does not fulfill the College's residency requirement. If a student plans to transfer, it is critical that the student work with a faculty advisor and/or counselor with regard to the transfer policies at the destination school. For questions regarding credit for prior learning policies, please contact Allie Dudley, the Advanced Standing Counselor, at adudley@germanna.edu. Credit for prior learning may be obtained in the following ways: Transfer Credit: Coursework transferred to Germanna Community College must represent collegiate coursework applicable to the student s curriculum, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in Germanna s curricula. Collegiate coursework from regionally accredited institutions typically meets the above criteria. No credit will be given for courses with grades lower than C. Technical and computer classes taken more than five years ago will not be accepted for transfer credits. A student enrolling at Germanna Community College who has been awarded a bachelor s degree from a regionally accredited American institution may be granted transfer credit for ENG 111 and ENG 112. The student must be in a curricular program and must submit official transcripts showing the confer date of the bachelor s degree. A waiver consisting of 6 credits will then be posted by Admissions and Records thereby negating the need to complete ENG 111 and ENG 112. These students will be expected to learn different bibliographic writing styles that they may or may not have experience with prior to attending Germanna. In order to transfer credit to another college or university, please review their policy for advanced standing/credit for prior learning. Every school has a different standard for accepting transfer credit, credit by exam, and portfolio credit. Credit by Exam: Credit may be awarded for the successful completion of certain nationally recognized exams such as Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) and International Baccalaureate (IB) as well as approved institutionally developed challenge exams known as ABLE exams (Assessment by Local Examination). 2

11 Assessment by Local Exam (ABLE) Using exams prepared by GCC faculty, Assessment by Local Exam (ABLE) allows students to receive credit for courses by demonstrating they have acquired the competencies through prior education or other experiences. In most cases, students must contact the department offering the exam to determine if they are qualified to take the exam; they may have to meet certain background requirements in order to qualify. There is no charge for ABLE exams or for having credit recorded on the student s permanent record. Credits earned through ABLE exams do not count toward the College residency requirement and may or may not transfer to other institutions of higher education. Currently GCC has one ABLE exam. The Student Development Assessment by Local Exam (SDV ABLE) allows students to receive one credit for the SDV course requirement by demonstrating they have acquired the competencies through prior education or other experiences. The Credit for Prior Learning option includes two parts: (1) the SDV ABLE EXAM on content covered in the SDV 100 course; and (2) the completion of a receipt form with signature acknowledging the student has received a copy of the College s Student Handbook. To be eligible to take the SDV ABLE Exam option, students must be transferring into Germanna from another accredited institution of higher education with a minimum of 24 credits but with no completed degree. Students must meet additional criteria as well, so students should contact the Assistant Dean of Student Development in order to determine eligibility for this option. ABLE Exam GCC Course Credit SDV ABLE SDV 100: College Success Skills 1 IC3 Computer Competency Test GCC requires many degree-seeking students to demonstrate proficiency in computer operations and software applications. Students have the option of taking the three credit hour ITE 115 course or testing out of ITE 115 by taking the IC3 Computer Competency Test. Students can only take the test once, so you are strongly encouraged to study for this test. You are not allowed to retake if you do not pass the exam on the first attempt. If you do not pass the exam, you will be required to take ITE 115. The Computer Competency Test is available by appointment with the Testing Center, for more information, please visit: computer-competency.asp Exam GCC Course Score Credit IC3 Test ITE
12 Credit for Military Training Credit may be awarded for military training and experience as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE) as those credits fit into the specific curriculum selected by the student ( Students with experience in the Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy must request a review of their military training and experience be transcribed through the Joint Services Transcript ( while students with experience in the Air Force must request their Community College of the Air Force transcript. Two physical education credits may be awarded to a student who can provide their DD214, if they are unable to retrieve transcripts any other way. Transcripts may be sent to: Office of Admissions & Records, Germanna Community College, 2130 Germanna Highway, Locust Grove, VA Please direct inquiries for evaluation of credit to Credit for Other Courses Credit may be awarded for courses that do not meet the College s normal criteria for transfer in accordance with established articulation agreements or as recommended by the ACE typically in the applied degree programs. See below for specific guidelines on articulated credit for particular programs. To obtain transfer credit or advanced standing, students must request that official documentation be forwarded directly from the issuing institution to: Office of Admissions & Records, Germanna Community College, 2130 Germanna Highway, Locust Grove, VA Please direct inquiries for evaluation of credit to Experiential Learning Portfolio Credit Students with a range of significant life experiences may already possess learning equivalent to college-level coursework. These experiences may be converted into one or more Germanna Community College courses, up to 15 credit hours, through the creation and evaluation of portfolios documenting the experience and how it meets course learning outcomes. This process is administered externally using the LearningCounts program run by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL). Possible learning experiences meriting college credit include work, military service, volunteering, travel, and independent study. NOTE: Students should be aware that experiential learning credit earned via LearningCounts will not transfer to all four-year institutions. Those planning to transfer should verify the policies of their desired four-year institution BEFORE pursuing portfolio credit. Students interested in gaining credit for experiential learning should take the following steps: 11
13 1. Go to and complete modules one and two of the LearningCounts online course to learn the basics of portfolio development. This should only take a few minutes. 2. Review the course content summary at for each course for which you would like to gain credit and verify that your experience meets all course outcomes listed. The Advanced Standing Counselor or the Prior Learning Assessment Advisor can assist you in making this determination. 3. Contact the Advanced Standing Counselor or the Prior Learning Assessment Advisor to gain approval for pursuing your selected course(s) via the LearningCounts portfolio program. 4. Register and pay for a LearningCounts portfolio online course at Students may choose from two options: an instructor-led course or a self-paced, non-credit course. Financial assistance may be available for veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. 5. Submit a portfolio to LearningCounts for each course for which you would like to receive credit. A faculty member at LearningCounts will evaluate your portfolio and determine if it meets all requirements for credit. The first portfolio must be submitted within six months after the completion of the online course. Each portfolio evaluation costs $125; the cost of one evaluation is included in the 6-week course fee. 6. Order an official transcript from LearningCounts to be sent to: Office of Admissions & Records, Germanna Community College, 2130 Germanna Highway, Locust Grove, VA
