Documentation of training, including copies of licenses, certifications, or other credentials requiring passing an exam, or completion of a qualified high school program with college-level components, can be provided to the Prior Learning Credit Options facilitator in the Academic Advising Center, or to the department chair of the appropriate subject area. If there is no current articulation agreement for the documentation being presented, it is up to the department chair to approve any course equivalency demonstrated by that documentation, on a case-by-case basis. Equivalent Sinclair courses that can be identified based on this documentation may be eligible to be added to your Sinclair record. There is a fee of $10 per course for these credits; they would show a grade of “Y,” indicating proficiency at a level of “C” or better. These are not always transferable to other colleges, but they count toward fulfilling Sinclair graduation requirements.

POLICIES:

1. A student must have completed a Sinclair Community College application and paid the appropriate fees.

2. The course(s) will be recorded on the student’s transcript with a “Y” grade.

3. No more than 45 credit hours earned through proficiency examination/articulation agreement/APP/CLEP/DANTES/ACE-CREDIT may be applied toward degree requirements.

4. Credits earned via CLEP examinations do not apply toward the college residency requirements.
