Students with background experiences obtained through proprietary schools, on the job training, apprenticeship, or correspondence courses, may have this prior experiential learning evaluated for recognition toward a certificate or degree from Kellogg Community College. Credits recognized through this process may or may not transfer to other colleges and universities. To initiate this process, the student must:

1. Review the goal statements and objectives of the course outline to determine if the prior experiential learning is the equivalent of the College course.
   
   
2. Collect and assemble information which documents the experience(s).
   
   
3. Contact the chairperson of the department or coordinator of the program offering the course to schedule an appointment for an evaluation.
   
   
4. Request the evaluator to deliver a completed "Request for Prior Experiential Learning" form to the Records office.
   
   
5. Pay a fee equal to $20 per Prior Experiential Learning credit granted or $5 per industrial trades module. Payment may be made at the Customer Service Center; Grahl, Fehsenfeld, or Eastern Academic Center; or RMTC office.
   
   
6. To have prior experiential learning credits recorded on your KCC transcript, you must have completed course work at KCC. Courses for which you have received a grade of "W", "I", "N", or Audit are not considered completed.
