Credit for Training and Credentials
Incoming articulation agreements recognize industry training and credentials for college credit. The Credit Recognition Guides linked below indicate how the equivalent credit may apply to Sinclair Community College certificates and degrees.
This site will be regularly updated with new agreements. Reach out to plaprograms@sinclair.edu if you have any questions or need more information.
Students are encouraged to submit all relevant credentials for evaluation which could result in additional course credit. Credit can be used for a variety of programs beyond those listed in the Credit Recognition Guide, and students should work with their Academic Advisor to create their academic plan.
