Transfer & Prior Learning
Current diploma-program policies state that students may transfer up to 18 credit hours into a diploma program, generally for coursework completed with a grade of C- or higher.
Emerald’s current materials also describe limited life-experience credit and Experiential Learning Course Exams (ELCE) where applicable.
Transfer and experiential credit are subject to institutional review and program applicability.
