Credit from Nontraditional Sources

The College will consider non-traditional sources such as active federal military service and service school, the College Entrance Examination Board’s Advanced Placement Program, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the International Baccalaureate Program (IB), and correspondence credits from a fully accredited institution.  Students may earn credit from the CLEP General Examination by scoring at the 25th Percentile, and at the national norms for a typical “C” student on the Subject Examination.  Students in residence may earn no more than 45 semester hours of credit on the basis of non-traditional education experiences.

The College receives transfer credits from an accredited institution of higher learning when the student provides an official transcript of the academic work from the institution awarding the credit. 

Stillman College will accept the transfer of credit from a third party platform such as online educational companies only when the two following stipulations have been satisfied:

  • The student has already attempted the course at Stillman without success.
  • The student has received written permission to enroll in the course by the College Administration using the Request for External Study form.
