| We recognize that students gain college-level
knowledge through various life experiences. These life experiences
may be equivalent to the specific subject matter taught in university
courses or may be recognized as general elective credit. If you
believe you are eligible for self-acquired competency (SAC) credit, discuss
your life experiences in detail with your general studies advisor.
In
general, we award SAC credit based on the following: |
- You must be admitted to the General Studies Degree Program, have
completed 12 credit hours at Indiana University subsequent to admission,
and be in good academic standing before we can evaluate credit for
self-acquired competency.
- You can apply a maximum of 15 credit hours of SAC credit toward the
AAGS and a maximum of 30 credits toward the BGS.
- If you are seeking SAC credit, do so in consultation with your
general studies advisor. SAC credit must be carefully integrated
with your total degree plan.
- Learning must parallel courses in the Indiana University curriculum
in order to be recognized as specific course credit. Learning of
college-level caliber that cannot be equated to specific course content
is awarded as general elective credit.
- The General Studies Degree Program arranges to have your SAC
portfolio assessed by faculty of the appropriate school or department.
A faculty member will evaluate your portfolio and determine the number
and type of credits to be awarded.
For assistance in developing your SAC portfolio, you can enroll in EDUC
F400 Preparing a Prior Learning Portfolio through the IU SCS Independent Study
Program.
