CREDIT BY EXAM CREDIT AWARDED FOR ARMED SERVICES EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES St. Johns River Community College (SJRCC) awards credit for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams as designated by the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC) credit-by-exam guidelines for post-secondary institutions. Up to 45 total credit-by-exam credits may be awarded. Up to 30 credits may be awarded for the IB diploma. SJRCC will award credit for Defense Activity of Non-Traditional Education Support Examinations (DANTES/DSST) and Excelsior based on the ACC course equivalent recommendations only. No elective credit will be awarded. (DANTES/DSST was formerly USAFI and Excelsior was formerly Regents or PEP.) Students are responsible for making test arrangements, bearing the cost of testing, and having test scores sent to SJRCC. A six-month interval is required for retaking an exam. Credit-by-exam will not be awarded if: 1. the credit would duplicate or overlap credit previously awarded through another exam, 2. the credit would duplicate or overlap credit previously awarded or earned, and/or 3. the student has received credit in a more advanced course in which the accumulation of knowledge or skills in the exam area is essential. No grades or quality points will be assigned. For purposes of general education, Gordon Rule, or major prerequisites, credit for specific course numbers awarded by exam will be treated no differently from credit earned in the same courses at SJRCC. SJRCC will accept IB, AP, and CLEP credits reported on official transcripts of transfer students. SJRCC will accept DANTES/DSST and Excelsior credits in transfer if another institution has awarded credit based on the ACC list of equivalents. In addition to that mandated by Section 240.4015 of the Florida Statutes, credit may be granted for military education that has been evaluated and recommended as appropriate for post-secondary credit by the American Council on Education's Guide To The Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. After enrollment in the college, a student may request such credit by providing appropriate documentation as determined by the college. Credit will be granted only if the credit satisfies specific course requirements in the student's selected degree program. Elective credits will not be awarded. The policies in effect when exams are taken generally govern the awarding of credit.
