Nontraditional Credit
Academic credit may be awarded to students who demonstrate mastery of knowledge or skills that were acquired outside of an accredited college or university. Nontraditional credit evaluations are available for accepted degree-seeking UAA students. Credit is granted for coursework for which students show documented achievement of equivalent outcomes. UAA faculty have evaluated specific training programs, exams and certifications in a number of disciplines and have determined that those listed below may result in the award of academic credit. The discipline and number of credits are established by the faculty and reviewed on a regular basis. Use of nontraditional credit to complete certificate or degree requirements may be limited; students should see their academic advisor for more information.
See below for more detailed information. Some courses appearing in the UAA Equivalent column satisfy General Education Requirements. Click the course hyperlink for details. Electives do not satisfy General Education Requirements.

Local Credit by Examination or Portfolio
Accepted degree- or certificate-seeking students may be awarded credit through locally developed comprehensive examinations or by student-produced portfolios that demonstrate achievement of the student learning outcomes for specific courses. However, credit by examination or portfolio is not available for all courses or programs, and students should check with their program for more information about the availability, requirements, and process. To receive this credit, students must submit the appropriate form to the Office of the Registrar and pay an administrative fee.
General criteria for local credit by examination or portfolio include:
- Credit by examination or portfolio applies for courses at the 100 level or higher.
- Using the form posted on the Curriculum website under Non-Traditional Credit Processes, departments propose a consistent process to be available to all students who are interested in this option. This proposal will be reviewed and approved by the dean and provost.
- Determination of which courses are available for credit by local examination or portfolio is at the discretion of the appropriate program and approved by the dean. Typically credit for independent study courses and trial courses may not be earned through local examination or portfolio.
- Local credit by examination or portfolio is not awarded for a course that duplicates one for which credit has already been granted.
- Students are awarded credit and a grade of P (pass) for credit by local examination or portfolio.
- If students do not pass the local examination or do not demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes identified for credit by portfolio, the course is not recorded on the student’s transcript.
- Grades for courses taken through local credit by examination or portfolio do not carry grade points used in calculating a student's UAA GPA.
- Credit awarded through local credit by examination or portfolio is considered non-resident credit.
- There is no institutional limit to the number of credits that may be acquired through the local credit by examination or portfolio process. However, individual programs may limit the number to 25% of the total credits toward a certificate or degree.
Military Credit
Elective credits may be awarded to students who have completed active-duty military service in accordance with ACE Guide credit use.
Additionally, credits may be granted for formal service schools and the primary MOS/rating as recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Services prepared by the American Council on Education. Students who wish to use military credit to meet degree requirements should work with an academic advisor to submit a Request for Evaluation of Military Training - JST or Request for Evaluation of CCAF Credit (Community College of the Air Force).
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) End-of-Course Exams
Credit may be awarded for successful completion of Project Lead the Way (PLTW) end-of-course assessment exams.
