Spoon River College 2021-2022 Catalog
Credit For Prior Learning Students with a variety of experience may develop a portfolio of professional experiences in order to apply for course credit. This portfolio is a collection of samples of previous work which would document learning, and must indicate that the student has met all objectives of the course in order to receive credit. This determination will be made by the faculty member responsible for the course. Approved credit through this process will be posted to the student’s transcript after a minimum of fifteen (15) credit hours toward a degree have been earned at the college. Twenty five percent of the required credits must be completed prior to awarding credit for prior learning to certificate seeking students. A student interested in this credit should contact the Dean of the division responsible for the course.
Credit Transfer Guarantee Students planning to transfer to a college or university after completing their work at Spoon River College may discuss the Credit Transfer Guarantee with their advisor. Provided the student knows the college or university to which he or she hopes to transfer, the major in which he or she will enroll, performs at “C” level or better, and is accepted into the college of his or her choice, Spoon River College will guarantee the transferability of credits taken or will return tuition paid for those articulated courses which do not transfer.
Career And Technical Program Guarantee In meeting the needs of the workplace with highly skilled graduates, Spoon River College will warrant the technical competence needed for entry-level employment in the career and technical field in which a student completes an Associate in Applied Science degree or career and technical certificate. Under this guarantee, a program graduate who is determined deficient in the technical skills specified in the course syllabi for the program will be provided up to nine semester credit hours of tuition-free retraining. For more information, contact the Dean of Career and Workforce Education.
