Life experience credits

Some institutions accept life experience credit. Acceptance of this credit typically requires submission and review of paperwork proving that the applicant's life experience equals so many hours of coursework. This is an extensive process and you will need to know if it applies to your institution. Never heard of this before, has anyone had this experience before? Just curious.

Tammy,

Interesting! Many schools do not believe in life credit as an equal transfer for educational classroom experiences.

When I returned to school after a long period of time I actuall got life credit towards my degree

Nadia ,

Many schools choose not to use life experience. The reason for that being that does really life equal the education that you receive in a classroom. It's a difficult question that you are giving the reputation of your school when you determine life matches education.
