The Office of Prior Learning will assist students in this matter. Certificates of completion and official DD 214 forms can be sent to the Evaluations Office if the course work was in some way related to college-level learning. A portfolio is a collection of materials documenting and verifying prior learning that can be awarded for NYIT or other college-level courses applicable to the student's degree program. The learning that is to provide the basis of college credit should be identified in the following way. This is followed by a list of duties performed at this level and described in detail.
Great emphasis is placed on the next step.
The student must carefully explain what learning was derived from the responsibilities of this position. Finally check the college catalog to identify the learning that is eligible for NYIT course credit. A course that does not relate to any NYIT course may, however, be evaluated for elective credits. For unrelated areas, each area should be placed in a separate portfolio. Students are encouraged to start portfolios immediately upon receipt of a letter of acceptance and final transfer credit evaluation from Admissions.
