Note about Transcripts

These courses are different than courses coming in from transfer.  In the case of these non-credit courses, we don't record grades.  Your certificate of may have a grade on it, 但是我们认为任何经过批准的课程都可以通过考试. 在RWU | UC的官方成绩单上显示的是学分,而不是成绩.

Additional Accepted Credits

The University also accepts credits for review completed by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) 纽约州立大学校董会主席,或由 American Council on Education's CREDIT program. If you find your credit on one of these lists, 您将在先前学习评估申请表上注明证书或培训的名称,并注明是NCCRS或ACE.

New Assessment

在您浏览了我们审查和批准的体验之后,您应该考虑第二条轨道.

New PLA request Process

If you have experience is not listed, 这可能意味着我们以前从未提交过它,我们需要评估它的信用. 为了评估你的信用,你需要提供一些有关经历的细节. 我们已经为您提供了新的评估需要哪些文件的详细信息.

A credit determination will be made within 14 working days from submission. If the request is approved, 随请求一起提交的文件将保留在您的正式RWU | UC文件中.

It is usual that once a student gets a new request approved, 然后将其添加到批准列表中,以便其他学生可以使用它.

下面的链接将允许你选择你有哪些经验,并找到你需要提交的信用评估.

Assessing Non-Credit Online Classes

There are many opportunities to take online courses not for credit. 这些课程的收入来自哈佛EdX、Pluralsite、LinkedIn Learning、Udemy、Coursera等.  If you have taken a course from one of these vendors, you may want it to be considered for college level learning.

Portfolio Option for Unique Experiences

有时,我们会发现,你的经历不能指望自己的大学学分.  With the portfolio pathway, you not only have a clear visualized plan towards your college goals, 但你也将能够从工作和生活经历中认识并阐明你的技能和专业知识. This is where RWU | UC is unique.  As part of the Portfolio Process, 你的导师和先修课程主任会和你一起决定你的经历如何有机地联系起来,以满足大学课程的结果. You may be surprised at how your experiences can link together. From life learning to a workplace training, 我们可以帮助你确定如何最好地将你的经历结合在一起,从而有可能在RWU获得大学学分.


What is a Portfolio?

portfolio Process

A portfolio, in terms of prior learning, 是由一名学生收集并在教务长指导下由一名教员审查的证据的广泛书面陈述吗. 先前学习组合学分的授予取决于学生的学位课程和之前通过先前学习或转学分获得的学分数量. The portfolio includes a resume, a personal narrative summary, 用叙述的方式来展示和验证你对课程材料的了解. 你需要解释和记录你对每个公开的课程目标的熟练程度. 您可以提交的文件类型的例子包括:展示能力的工作样本和观察您展示能力的人的推荐信.

Transfer Options

RWU | UC从先前学习学分申请中评估的任何学分都不能转让. 你应该直接与你的转学学校合作,并按照他们的流程要求考虑你的投资组合.

Assessment of Experience

您的作品集将由先修学习主任审核,并提交给相应的主题专家进行评估. 评估你作品集的主题专家将是RWU的教员或外部顾问.

Transcripts

如果一个作品集的成绩至少为“C”,则可获得同等学分. No letter grade is awarded. 您的RWU官方记录将表明此学分来自先前的学习.

University Student Conduct Rules

提交作品集的作品必须遵守大学关于抄袭和学术诚信的学术标准的规定.
