34 Incoming Transfer of Instruction Credit: Previous Accreditor and California law requires that a record of all students' previous education be Education Evaluation kept and evaluated if the student is to receive credit for any course completed at another institution. It is critical that the official transcript be obtained and evaluated course -by - course. No transcript evaluation or testing will take place until the student has applied, been accepted, and enrolled. If the student requests consideration for previous training or experience, the transfer of credit process cannot be completed until the request has been evaluated by the Education Director. A copy of the evaluation form and the student evaluation letter must be maintained in the student file. Previous Education Evaluation Transfer of credit from other institutions is encouraged and available in all programs except EFL. Applicants may request an informal transfer of credit evaluation prior to admission. Official notification of credits that have been accepted for transfer to a program normally occurs at the time an offer of admission is made or during the student's first module of enrollment. Evaluation of credits for transfer to a program will require a copy of the transcript that reflects the course being evaluated. Minimum Requirements for the Evaluation of Transfer of Credit Credits evaluated for transfer from other educational institutions must have been: • Earned and recorded on an official transcript at a school that was accredited by an agency recognized by either the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation; • Earned within 5 years prior to or after matriculation to Learnet Academy; • For education received more than 5 years prior to the start of class, the student must demonstrate proficiency in that subject matter by earning a score of 70% or higher on an exam, administered by the Education Director, in that subject matter; • Earned in courses posting a "B" (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher; • Earned in a course in which the content is equivalent in both content and credit value to the corresponding Learnet Academy course; • Approved prior to registering for the course. Learnet Academy also considers credits for transfer from educational accomplishments attained in extra -institutional settings that are recognized by the American Council on Education's (ACE) Center for Adult Learning and Educational Credentials. Foreign Coursework Coursework from non-U.S. institutions will normally require transcripts to be evaluated and certified by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member agency. Transfer of credit documentation, when requested, should be submitted to the Office of Admission. Students who have satisfactorily completed courses from a foreign nation's appropriately accredited university may be able to apply the courses credits toward an Academic Associate Degree at Learnet Academy. Students should consult admissions BEFORE requesting to have credits evaluated because the time it takes to evaluate a large number of units can delay enrollment. Courses must first be evaluated by an approved credential evaluation agency, then finally reviewed and approved by Education Director. Once courses are approved, their credit(s) may then be transferred to Learnet Academy. To have foreign coursework credits evaluated, students should contact one of the approved credential evaluation agencies listed below and request a detailed equivalency report that indicates -for each course -whether it is an upper -or -lower -division course, its US quarter equivalency, and the grade the student earned: Please visit http://www.naces.orgLand select one of institutions listed: Last Revision Date on December 12, 2020
