Earn Credit For Prior Learning

Before starting an AODC program, students work with a dedicated academic advisor to ensure as many credits as possible transfer to a UM-Flint degree. But that’s just the beginning.

Through our Credit for Prior Learning program, you could save time thanks to experiences including:

  • Military examinations and training.
  • Professional training and certifications.
  • Standardized exams such as AP, IB, and CLEP.
  • Portfolio review – document your learning outside of the classroom and submit it for credit.
