Evaluation Process

This credit is awarded through a Credit by Evaluation process. The form can either be obtained next to the appropriate credential under “Search Credentials” above, or through the Admissions and Records Department at the applicable campus. Students should submit the form at the campus offering the specified degree or program. Prior to credit being awarded, students should be admitted to that college with the specified degree or program listed as their declared major. There is no fee to award this credit.

Standard decisions are recorded in our Transfer Evaluation System (TES) under “Industry Recognized Credential.” Please refer to TES for additional information.
