Credits/Hours Granted Based on Assessment of a Prior Learning Portfolio
| Palm Beach State College has developed a portfolio-based system of demonstrating that a student has achieved the course objectives for A.S. and CCP courses. This process involves a written portfolio that is prepared under the guidance of a program instructor or faculty member.* |

| Process: |
Student initiates the process by using the process described at www.palmbeachstate.edu/prior-learning/prior-learning-portfolio.aspx. A faculty member/program manager/program instructor is identified to review the student’s application. If accepted, the student prepares the portfolio that may include a skills assessment. The faculty member/program manager/program instructor assesses the portfolio and assigns a passing or non-passing grade.
