1 Approaches to facilitating completion Existing mechanisms for awarding credit AP, IB, and CLEP Credit by Exam Existing pressures Alternative approaches?

2

3 Ensure pathways to completion are clear and accessible Advising, scheduling Develop stackable credentials Small certificate > big certificate > degree Implement curricular practices that facilitate completion Cohorts, learning communities Expand articulation with high schools and facilitate the readiness of student upon entry

4 Simplify CCC-CCC articulation Recognize AP, IB, and CLEP to the greatest extent possible and reasonable Institute evaluation of military transcripts

5 Create certificates for the purpose of being able to award a certificate Create opportunities for students to earn multiple degrees by doing very little Award credit for non-academic experiences that have no connection to existing approved curriculum Dumb-down curriculum

6 AP, IB, and CLEP How generous is your college? How generous should you be? Credit by Exam (CbE) Are your CbE opportunities fair? Are your CbE opportunities published? Literally required by law AB 1025 (Garcia, 2013)

7 Education Code (a) The California Community Colleges and the California State University shall provide information about credit by examination opportunities wherever course and class information is available.

8 External Credit outcomes Student has completed an external educational experience Appears on the transcript in the transfer credit or notes section (if at all) Not part of your college s articulation agreements Is likely to fulfill different requirements at different institutions

9 External Credit outcomes example IB Mathematics (Higher Level exam) XXCCD SDSU UCSD Required score 6 or higher 4 or higher 5 or higher Degree credit 6 units 6 units 5.3 units GE credit Area A2 & math competency (6 units GE) Area B4 (3 units GE) Area 2A (3 units GE) Major credit None None MATH 10A+20A Example from

10 Section of the Education Code By July 1, 2015, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, using common course descriptors and pertinent recommendations of (*from) the American Council on Education, shall determine for which courses credit should be awarded for prior military experience. *Current legislative effort to change of to from (Melendez, AB 343)

11 Other accredited institutions National exams Military coursework/experience

12 Other accredited institutions Credit via articulation Credit via evaluation

13 Education Code By July 1, 2015, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, using common course descriptors and pertinent recommendations of the American Council on Education, shall determine for which courses credit should be awarded for prior military experience. Issues?

14 Education Code By July 1, 2015, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, using common course descriptors and pertinent recommendations of the American Council on Education, shall determine for which courses credit should be awarded for prior military experience. Issues?

15 CCCCO does not award credit and is not an appropriate agency to make conclusions regarding the appropriateness of an experience for college credit C-ID descriptors exist (not an issue, more of question) Is ACE a credible source for recommendations? WHAT credit?

16 Should we? Do we?

17 If/when military experience can be deemed consistent with a course experience When credit is USEFUL the awarding of credit for credit s sake is not beneficial

18 Possibly in the event that there are military experience that are aligned with CCC courses C-ID could be used to make this connection if it is not evident BUT, is this a statewide issue and are we awarding credit that is useful?

19 National exams AP IB CLEP DSST

20

21

22 Military coursework/experience Training / education provided by the military to military people Usually vocational / occupational in nature Examples Basic military training Air Traffic Controller school Basic Still Photography school

23 The ACE Guide Standard reference for recognizing learning acquired in the military Evaluates and translates military courses & occupations Provides credit recommendations

24

25

26

27

28 Military transcripts DD-295 Evaluation of Learning Experiences During Military Service (no longer used) Army AARTS Air Force CCAF Navy SMART Marine Corps SMART Coast Guard Coast Guard Institute

29 Military transcripts List military course completions List military experience List some national exam results List other learning experiences (short term / non-evaluated training)

30

31

32

33 Basic requirements that external credit might fulfill Unit Credit toward an associate or baccalaureate degree General Education requirements Major requirements

34 Who decides what credit to award? Unit Credit System-wide faculty for UC and CSU College- or district-wide faculty for CCC General Education requirements System-wide faculty for UC and CSU College- or district-wide faculty for CCC Major requirements Department level faculty for UC, CSU, CCC

35 Look for opportunities to accept and use military credit toward GE and major requirements (CTE majors most likely) Align use of external exams to the CSU (or UC) system Make separate administrative procedures for credit by exam and for the acceptance and use of external credit

36 Questions? Discussion? Thanks for your attention and participation!
