Cabarrus College of Health Sciences makes every effort to provide academic credit for prior learning that does
not qualify for transfer credit or credit by examination. Advanced placement for general education courses is
made by the registrar and requires that:
- the student submit course descriptions for course work completed with grades of "C" or
higher, equivalent to or beyond the requirements of the course for which advanced placement is requested and/or;
- the student submit degree credentials in the area for which the advanced placement is requested.
Advanced Placement for major courses requires that:
- the student submit course descriptions from various courses taken for verification of contact hours and
performance in courses for which advanced placement is requested;
- the student with licensure/certification in a major area (e.g., LPN, Surgical Technologist, etc.) must submit
current documentation as proof of achievement for determination of advanced placement.
A student receiving advanced placement must meet all admission requirements or approved equivalents;
must meet all progression and graduation requirements of the program; and must complete the last 50% of the
hours in the major program of study at Cabarrus College of Health Sciences. |

- acceptable scores on either the SAT I or ACT;
- two references that speak to academic abilities and/or work ethic; and
