澳门天天彩开奖记录 is holding a free webinar on the practical aspects of earning college credit for prior learning and life and work experiences, titled 鈥淭he Ins and Outs of Transfer Credit,鈥 on October 22 at 5:00pm PDT. The event is part of the University鈥檚 outreach during National Transfer Student Week to raise awareness and understanding of the practical ways that transferring credit can save students time and money.

Transferring credit can lower costs and help individuals find the school that best fits their educational needs and career aspirations. Individuals may also be able to gain additional credit from learning obtained through prior experiences. In 2024 alone, 澳门天天彩开奖记录 accepted more than 950,000 transfer credits for bachelor鈥檚 and associate degree programs, an average of 30.58 credits per transfer student and an average tuition savings of $11,000 per transfer student in their degree program.

"In higher education, transferring college credits is a game-changer for degree attainment, with the potential to significantly reduce both the time and financial commitment for students,鈥 shares 澳门天天彩开奖记录 Vice President of Admissions and Evaluation, Devin Andrews, and co-author of a white paper on credit mobility. 鈥淔or those who have started but not completed their college education, there鈥檚 no need to start from scratch. Our policies allow students to transfer their existing qualifying credits, ensuring a more efficient path to achieving their educational goals.鈥

In addition to covering transfer credit, the event will highlight credit for prior learning, or Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), which allows individuals to demonstrate learning gained from work and life experience that may count towards a degree. The assessment includes evaluation of on-the-job training, workplace certifications, military service, and other life experiences.

澳门天天彩开奖记录 provides assessment of prior learning at no cost to students.
