ACE Military Registry Transcripts including AARTS (Army); SMART (Navy and Marine Corp); CCAF (Air Force); and CARTS (Coast Guard) can be considered.

• Credit awarded is not necessarily transferable to other institutions, and may impact financial aid awards. Students should meet with a financial aid advisor prior to pursuing assessment of military training.
Prior Learning
Yavapai College recognizes that learning experiences take place in a variety of settings. Many students have significant, demonstrable learning that has come from educational experiences outside the traditional academic environment. Students may be awarded college credit for prior or extra-institutional learning based on established assessment methods including articulation agreements, credit by evaluation, and college-level equivalency examinations. All assessment methods used by the College require faculty review and oversight to determine that learning outcomes have been accomplished by determining acceptable test scores, appropriate equivalen- cies, special program requirements, or other academic considerations.
Additional Information:
• A maximum of 30 credit hours by any combination of examination, special articulation agreement, or evaluation will be accepted.
• A student must successfully complete at least one credit course at Yavapai College before any credit for prior learning will be documented on the College transcript.
• Duplicate credit will not be awarded for prior learning in subject matter for which the student has already received credit.
• Assessment for prior learning will not be administered for equivalency of courses numbered below 100.
• Credit will not be granted for more elementary course work or for a prerequisite to a course in which the student is enrolled or for which the student has already received credit.
• An official transcript or documentation of test scores must be sent directly to the Registrar from the administering agency or testing company prior to assessing eligibility for credit.
• The Yavapai College transcript will document only that credit for prior learning has been granted and the number of credits awarded. No letter grade will be assigned for any assess- ment of prior learning and no record will be made of unsuccessful assessments.
• While Yavapai College will award credit for prior learning in accordance with institutional policies and procedures, the credit is not necessarily transferable to other colleges and uni- versities. Therefore, students are strongly advised to meet with a program advisor at the college or university they plan to attend.
• Credit for prior learning may impact financial aid awards. Therefore, students are strongly advised to meet with a financial aid advisor prior to pursuing assessment of prior learning.
• The student must pay any fees and adhere to approved administrative procedures for the prior learning assessment method selected. All fees are non-refundable.
