How to Obtain Credit for Prior Learning

Your life experience is valuable.

At William James College we understand that not all learning takes place in a classroom. Many of our students have gained considerable knowledge from their experience working in the field of human services. Students may be able to earn college credits toward their Bachelor of Arts degree by using the knowledge acquired through life experiences, including volunteering, employment, seminars, workshops, completion of non-credit courses, military training, or cultural experiences. Through written work and documentation, students must demonstrate that specific course competencies are met. This collection of documents is presented to the Credit for Prior Learning Director for evaluation by content specialists from the College.
