• Completing a prescribed school or work-based learning experience while in high school.

• Completing a registered apprenticeship.

• Demonstrating competency in a subject by passing a College-developed or national examination.

• Providing evidence of previous work experience, education or training, or other prior learning comparable in content and level of rigor to a specific technical college course or courses.

Students must complete at least 25% of the total program credits through coursework at the College. This shall include 25% of occupational core credits associated with the program from which the Student will graduate.
