Names of corporations, companies, and businesses identified herein are not
intended to imply sponsorship or endorsement of, or affiliation with, Apollo
Group, Inc., or its subsidiary institutions, including the University of
Phoenix, Western International University, and the College for Financial
Planning. This Guide recommends awarding appropriate academic credit for various
training and coursework based upon established standards.
References to upper division, lower division, general education, or elective
credit are primarily for internal use as a determination of content rigor. Such
a reference does not imply potential waiver of coursework, but rather, is used
as a method for review to avoid duplication and regression possibilities in
meeting program requirements.
The determination of credit equivalency and its application to program
requirements is both institution and program specific. Credit recommendations
for training, licenses, certificates, or diploma coursework are subject to
individual institutional standards, policies, and requirements for Prior
Learning Assessment credit determinations and awards. Due to individual
programmatic policies and requirements, this Guide makes no guarantees as to the
credit determinations for training, licenses, certificates, or diploma
coursework listed herein. Information regarding specific program requirements is
generally located either within the individual institution’s catalog, or its
policies and procedures.
The final determination of which, if any, Prior Learning Assessment credits
are applied depends on regulatory requirements and the individual academic
policies of the Apollo Group, Inc. subsidiary institutions. Any discussions with
enrollment advisors, academic advisors, or other members of staff or faculty
concerning possible application of such credits are only estimates and not
binding on the institution.
The awarding of credits and the determination of applicability of those
credits to degree completion requirements can only be made after official review
by Prior Learning Assessment.
