Non-Collegiate Training and Instruction

天美传媒 awards credit for successful completion of certain college-level non-collegiate workforce training conducted by organizations that are not accredited institutions of higher education. These include business and industry, professional groups, governmental and nonprofit agencies, and some professional credentials. All grades or scores reflecting the outcome of non-collegiate workforce training must be official documents sent directly from the issuing agency or provider to 天美传媒.

天美传媒 will accept up to 90 degree-applicable credits for a bachelor's degree and 45 degree-applicable credits for an associate degree, in total from military, corporate or workforce training programs/certificates or apprenticeships recommended for credit by the American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE), or National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS).The student is responsible for initiating a request that the official report or transcript be issued. Successful completion for workforce training and credentials is defined as "C" (2.0) level or higher for undergraduate credit and "B" (3.0) level or higher for graduate credit.

When a credit review by its own faculty has not been made, the College may consider the credit recommendations issued by the (ACE CREDIT) or the (NCCRS).

Students who have successfully completed a workforce training program reviewed for credit by ACE or NCCRS should have their official transcript sent to the Registrar's Office from the issuing agency or training sponsor.

天美传媒 reserves the right to limit or exclude the transfer of credit if the course content, assessment process, or student learning outcomes do not meet 天美传媒鈥檚 faculty standards.

Workforce Training Programs

The College defines Workforce Training Programs as programs which lead to industry-recognized certificates and credentials that aid in job placement or career advancement in a recognized occupation.

Workforce training aims to build job-specific skills, improve performance, prepare for future roles, or enhance overall career readiness for employed or job-seeking individuals, covering both immediate job needs (training) and long-term growth (development). In this context, an activity is considered workforce-related when it directly enhances an individual鈥檚 ability to obtain, perform, or advance in a job, rather than serving as a purely personal interest or general educational experience.

Students may be able to earn credit at 天美传媒 for professional licenses and certifications; apprenticeships and training taken in the workplace; through corporations, government agencies, professional associations or unions; or through specialized training programs that have been evaluated for college credit.

Technical or skills-based workforce learning experiences may qualify for transfer credit when they meet established academic criteria. General Academic coursework/learning experiences delivered by the same provider may be excluded from transfer consideration. The College retains sole discretion to make these determinations based on the content, scope and context of the learning experience. 

Credit for these programs is awarded on a case-by-case basis by the College Registrar鈥檚 Office in consultation with faculty. The College may choose not to accept or may modify the recommended credit. Credits are not guaranteed prior to a student鈥檚 application for admission. The decision to enroll in a degree program at 天美传媒 should not be based soley on any anticipated credit from these programs.

天美传媒 may, at its discretion, upon review by faculty and approval of the Provost award credit for non-collegiate instruction, including professional credentials, based upon a credit recommendation made by another regionally accredited institution of higher learning.
