Prior Credit Evaluation Procedures
- Applicant or a current student will submit a request to have post-secondary credits from another school evaluated. The applicant or current student must submit the request at least one term (5-week term) prior to taking the potentially impacted course(s).
- ACE applicants or students must include, at minimum, an unofficial copy of their transcripts for a decision to be offered.
- The ACE applicant or student must provide an official transcript before the actual credit can be awarded in the student record.
- The college will evaluate the transfer request and award transfer credit using the Transfer Credit Policy
- The college will email the applicant or student with a decision.
- The college will apply the credit to the student’s record when the following occurs:
- Official transcripts for prior credit have been received.
- The individual has started the program, and the drop/add period has passed.
If an applicant or student does not agree with the evaluation, they can appeal via the general appeal process.
Postsecondary Transfer Credits
As an institution dedicated to adult learners, the American College of Education (ACE) recognizes and accepts prior postsecondary education credits earned at other institutions or through previous enrollment at ACE. Transfer credits must be from an accredited postsecondary higher education institution recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
ACE will evaluate transfer credit from these institutions using a course-for-course equivalency review process. The Program Transfer Requirements and Exclusions list outlines program-specific requirements and exclusions. Typically, courses will transfer at the same level (e.g., undergraduate-level course to undergraduate-level course, master-level course to master-level course, and doctoral-level to doctoral-level). Some postsecondary courses fall into general categories that may not be eligible for transfer credits or, in some instances, may receive recognition on a restricted basis. Examples include:
- Remedial courses in any subject (course level below a 100-level)
- Repeated courses or courses with duplicate subject content
Students with a conferred master’s degree from ACE can apply any completed ACE coursework to an “alumni elective track” for pathway or Ed.D. programs, not to exceed what has been outlined for the program.
ACE reserves the right to deny transfer credit for courses incompatible with its programs. If a student were to leave ACE for any reason, a new evaluation of credit transfers would be needed to ensure compliance with the current college policies upon the student’s return.
Nontraditional Transfer Credits
ACE recognizes that students may have acquired college-level knowledge through expertise developed outside the classroom. An ACE student or applicant can request the college to review all nontraditional credits for consideration. At ACE, nontraditional credit takes many forms, including:
- Nontraditional credit - recognized, standardized national examinations (e.g., AP, CLEP, IB, Dantes, etc.)
- Nontraditional credit - evaluation of military service transcripts (JST, CCAF, etc.)
- Prior learning assessment (PLA) of an organization’s non-credit course, program, or certificate (e.g., ITeach, LETRS, and Teaching Channel)
- Prior learning assessment (PLA) of a professional certification/licensure through passing a national exam (e.g., ASBO Certification).
- Prior learning assessment (PLA) of a non-credit course, program, or certificate an individual student obtains.
The Program Transfer Requirements and Exclusions list outlines program-specific requirements and exclusions.
