Narrative

The institution awards academic credit for course work taken on a noncredit basis only when there is documentation that the non-credit course work is equivalent to a designated credit experience.

JUDGMENT: Compliant

STATEMENT OF RATIONALE FOR JUDGMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Southwest Texas Junior College awards academic credit for selected courses offered on a non-credit basis through Continuing Education. These credits may be applied to an Associate’s degree, consistent with the SWTJC mission goal of preparing students “to successfully transfer to senior colleges and universities.”

Equivalency of this course work was determined by SWTJC faculty and administration on a course-by-course basis through the examination of course competencies and student learning outcomes.
