The counselor reviews the candidate's experience to determine if college credit can be earned and gives an estimate of the number of credits possible. An interview is then arranged with the Life Experience Coordinator for a more in-depth evaluation. Students are requested to submit a resume, any college transcripts, and awards or certifications. During the Course Students write a brief autobiography. This personal history helps identify learning experiences gained.
Students relate learning experiences to credit-bearing college courses.
Faculty work closely with students in defining course requirements and evaluating their actual experience. Students are guided by the LEC Coordinator throughout the process. A faculty assessment committee reviews each portfolio at the end of the semester. Life Experience Credit is granted for qualified work. Additional Life Experience Credit can be added to a student's portfolio at any time without re-enrollment in the LEC program.
