Life Experience Assessment Program (LEAP) Request Form
Purpose:
For a student to be able to request that a life-experience or a proven trained skill be awarded as equal credit for a
course(s):
LEAP Policies:
1. The general policies concerning credit from non-traditional sources are applicable.
2. LEAP credit is available only if the life experience warrants three (3) or more credit hours.
3. A non-refundable fee of $15 per credit hour is charged for the evaluation process, which includes review
of a portfolio and/or documentation and demonstration of competencies.
4. For each applicant a review committee is established to verify that the student can demonstrate
knowledge and skills in the requested area comparable to the knowledge and skills of a college-trained
student in the same area.
5. The LEAP review committee should consist of the Division Coordinator of the area from which credit is
being requested, at least one faculty member with expertise in the relevant discipline, the Chief Student
Affairs Officer’s designee, and any other expert or consultant deemed necessary to ensure fairness and
equity to the student.
Avenues from which LEAP
Credit can be Acquired
Suggested methods of evaluation
1. Structured course work from
a. Vocational/technical educational
programs
b. Nursing and medical programs
c. Non-accredited professional
schools (art, secretarial,
computers, etc.
d. Military training courses
e. Non-credit coursework
f. Enrichment seminars, workshops,
and courses
1. Portfolio validating content, contact hours,
completion and/or grades if applicable.
2. Work Experience (includes military
experience)
2. Through well documented portfolio and a
demonstration of acquired competencies.
The portfolio should consist of documentation of the acquisition of those competencies deemed necessary for
specific course content such as:
Awards
Course Content Description and Contact Hours, Drawings, Diagrams, Artwork, etc.
Work Experience Records and Job Description
Graduation Certificates
High School Co-op Work Experience Training Plan
Licensures/Certifications
Narrative of Experiences
Letters of Recommendations/Testimony
Transcripts
LEAP Procedures
1. A student who seeks LEAP credit should contact the Division Coordinator of the course.
2. If the Division Coordinator confirms the possibility that LEAP credit would be applicable, the student is
instructed to prepare a portfolio and to complete the Application for LEAP Credit (see the following
pages), and the appropriate sections of the Portfolio Worksheet and Assessment Evaluation Form for
LEAP and to pay the $15 per credit hour assessment and evaluation fee.
3. The Division Coordinator should review the Application for LEAP Credit and the Portfolio Worksheet
and Assessment Evaluation Form. If additional information is needed the Division Coordinator should
request information from the Student.
4. If no additional documentation is needed, or once all needed documentation has been received, the
LEAP credit request should be sent to committee review.
5. The Division Coordinator of the course will schedule an appointment for the applicant to meet with the
review committee to discuss his/her experiential background, if necessary. If the committee agrees that
the student’s experiences warrant further action, the objectives and competencies for appropriate courses
are reviewed. For work experience, a demonstration of acquired competencies will be scheduled.
6. An evaluation is completed by the committee, and appropriate credit is approved on the application
form. Should the evaluation indicate that a student has demonstrated competencies for additional course-
referenced credit hours, upon payment of $15 per credit hour, credit will be awarded for additional
hours. However, if a student pays for nine credit hours and demonstrates competencies for only six
credit hours, a refund will not be granted: payment is for the evaluation process, not the awarding of
credit.
7. Copies of the evaluation form and completed application with credit approved are sent to the Registrar’s
Office. The portfolio is returned to the student; however, any other documentation is retained in the
student’s academic record.
8. A grade of “P” will be awarded for LEAP credits.
