Credit for Prior Learning
Students can satisfy graduation requirements by applying credits for prior learning, such as industry credentials or high school coursework.
If the prior learning is deemed equivalent to a specific Wake Tech course, students are granted equivalency for it. But no academic credit is awarded, so it does not count toward the student's grade point average.
Contact your department head or dean to determine which course(s) apply to your program of study.
For more information, email [email protected].
