Undergraduate Credit for Previous Education or Experience

A student may request credit for courses in the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school based on the student’s previous postsecondary education or experience, by submitting a written request to the Registrar.

(1) Previous Postsecondary Education - Following the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s written request, the school may grant the student credit for course(s) in the student’s undergraduate program of study based on the student’s previous postsecondary education at a different institution, if the student satisfies all of the following requirements:

(a) The student provides the school with an official transcript from each educational institution awarding any credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific course requirements of the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school. If the educational institution is located (I) in the U.S., it must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or (II) outside the U.S., it must be accredited or similarly acknowledged by an agency deemed acceptable to the school in its discretion.

(b) The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific core course requirements of the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school is determined, in the school’s discretion, to be substantially the same as the subject matter of such core course(s). The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy specific general education course requirements of the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school is determined, in the school’s discretion, to be in the same area of study (i.e., the humanities, mathematics and the sciences, or the social sciences) as the area of study of such general education course(s). The subject matter of the course(s) represented by the credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy any elective course requirements of the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school is determined, in the school’s discretion, to represent a level of rigor that is equal to or greater than the rigor of the school’s lower division courses.

(c) The number of credits that the student desires to transfer to the school to satisfy the requirements of a specific course in the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school must equate, as determined by the school, to at least the same number of quarter credit hours of that course as specified in the Program Outline for the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school.

(d) The student completed each course represented by credits that the student desiresto transfer to the school to satisfy specific course requirements of the student’s program of study at the school with at least: (i) a grade of “C” (i.e., 2.0 on a 4.0 scale), if the credits were earned at a postsecondary educational institution other than an ITT Technical Institute; or (ii) a passing grade, if the credits were earned at an ITT Technical Institute.

(2) Previous Experience - Following the Registrar’s receipt of the student’s written request, the school may grant the student credit for course(s) in the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school based on the student’s previous experience, if the student demonstrates, to the school’s satisfaction, that he or she has sufficiently grasped the knowledge and skills offered by the specific course(s) contained in the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school that the student desires credit for previous experience. The student must demonstrate such knowledge and skills by completing the school’s proficiency examination(s) and/or project(s) for each such course as required by the school and receive at least a grade of “C” on each such examination and/or project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a student may not receive credit based on the student’s previous experience with respect to any course(s) in the student’s undergraduate program of study at the school that the student previously attempted at the school or at any other ITT Technical Institute.

Any student eligible to receive veterans educational benefits while attending any course(s) in an eligible undergraduate program of study at the school will be denied veterans educational benefits for any such course(s) that the student previously successfully completed (as determined in the school’s discretion in accordance with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs regulations) elsewhere. As a result, each student eligible and desiring toreceive veterans educational benefits while attending an eligible undergraduate program of study at the school must provide the school with an official transcript for all previous postsecondary education and the student’s military discharge document DD214, prior to the first scheduled class in the first course that the student is registered to take in the student’s eligible undergraduate program of study at the school. The school will determine, in its discretion, whether: (a) the subject matter of any course previously taken by the student is substantially the same as the subject matter of any course contained in the student’s eligible undergraduate program of study at the school; and (b) the number of credits of any course previously taken by the student equate to at least the same number of quarter credit hours of any course having substantially the same subject matter that is contained in the student’s eligible undergraduate program of study at the school. If the school determines that (I) the subject matter of any prior course taken by the student is substantially the same as the subject matter of a course in the student’s eligible undergraduate program of study at the school and (II) the number of credits of that prior course equates to at least the same number of quarter credit hours as the course in the student’s eligible undergraduate program of study that has substantially the same subject matter, the school will grant the student credit for such prior course.

The total number of credits for courses in the student’s program of study which may be granted to the student by the school based on the student’s previous postsecondary education or experience as provided above cannot exceed 75% of the quarter credit hours required to graduate from the program. See the Graduation Requirements section of this catalog for further information. If the school grants the student credit for any course in the student’s program of study based on the student’s previous postsecondary education or experience as provided above: (a) the student will receive a grade of “TR” for that course, if credit was granted based on the student’s previous postsecondary education at a different institution; and (b) the student will receive a grade of “CR” for that course, if credit was granted based on the student’s previous experience.

NOTE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS: The school will not grant any credit for courses in the student’s graduate program of study based on the student’s previous postsecondary education or experience.
