Names of corporations, companies, and businesses
identified herein are not intended to imply sponsorship or endorsement of,
or affiliation with, Apollo Group, Inc., or its subsidiary institutions,
including the University of Phoenix, Western International University, and
the College for Financial Planning. This Guide recommends awarding
appropriate academic credit for various training and coursework based upon
established standards.
References to upper division, lower division, general
education, or elective credit are primarily for internal use as a
determination of content rigor. Such a reference does not imply potential
waiver of coursework, but rather, is used as a method for review to avoid
duplication and regression possibilities in meeting program requirements.
The determination of credit equivalency and its
application to program requirements is both institution and program
specific. Credit recommendations for training, licenses, certificates, or
diploma coursework are subject to individual institutional standards,
policies, and requirements for Prior Learning Assessment credit
determinations and awards. Due to individual programmatic policies and
requirements, this Guide makes no guarantees as to the credit
determinations for training, licenses, certificates, or diploma coursework
listed herein. Information regarding specific program requirements is
generally located either within the individual institution’s catalog, or
its policies and procedures.
The final determination of which, if any, Prior
Learning Assessment credits are applied depends on regulatory requirements
and the individual academic policies of the Apollo Group, Inc. subsidiary
institutions. Any discussions with enrollment advisors, academic
advisors, or other members of staff or faculty concerning possible
application of such credits are only estimates and not binding on the
institution.
The awarding of credits and the determination of
applicability of those credits to degree completion requirements can only
be made after official review by Prior Learning Assessment.
