Credit by Examination

Other institutions have varying policies on accepting credit by examination so a student wishing to transfer this credit to another institution needs to check with that institution regarding their policy.

Personal Counseling
Counselors are available to provide short-term assistance to help students address issues that may be hindering them in succeeding in college.
