admission requirements and Procedures
CreDiT for alTernaTive eDuCaTion
Feather River College recognizes the value of work completed at other accredited colleges and experience
outside of the traditional classroom setting. Accordingly, college credit is awarded in the following areas:
1. Previously Earned Units: College credits earned at any accredited institution of higher education
will be evaluated by FRC counselors for consideration as applicable toward meeting FRC Associate
degree or certificate requirements. Credits are posted to transcripts upon completion of all other
graduation requirements and after the student has filed a Petition to Graduate.
Students must request that copies of official, sealed transcripts be mailed to the Admissions and
Records Office from each college they previously attended.
Note: Awarded credit is not transferable to other colleges and universities; its acceptance is subject
to individual institutional policies.
A maximum of 40 units will be awarded in the following categories:
2. Credit by Examination: Students who are currently enrolled in at least one course (other than
the course to be challenged) and who have completed 12 units at FRC with a 2.0 GPA in all college
units attempted are eligible to seek “credit by examination” in a maximum of two courses. Credit by
examination will be based upon a comprehensive exam that is designed by the supervising faculty
member to cover the content of the course. If a course includes extensive writing or laboratory
exercises, these will be included in the comprehensive exam. There may be courses for which a
comprehensive exam cannot be developed or administered.
The student has the option of receiving pass/no pass or a grade, and the course will be identified
as a “Credit by Examination” on the transcript. Students may not challenge introductory or less
advanced courses if they have successfully completed advanced courses in the discipline. Students
may not challenge a course for which they have received pass/no pass or grades, either satisfactory
or unsatisfactory, from an accredited institution.
Eligibility for credit will be based on post high school experiences. Students must request “credit
by examination” in the Admissions and Records Office during the first eight weeks of the semester
in order to receive credit that semester. This petition must be signed by an instructor qualified to
teach the course a student requests and who has agreed to supervise the examination. Agreement
to supervise “credit by examination” is at the discretion of the individual faculty member. Students
should not enroll in the course that is to be taken through “credit by examination.” Fees for a credit
by exam must be paid in full in advance of the test. Contact Admissions and Records for applicable
fees.
3. Military Service: Six (6) units of general elective credits will be awarded for a minimum of one year
of active service. In addition, credit will be awarded for work at Military Service Schools according
to the standards established in the American Council on Educational Guides. Equivalent course and
unit credit will be offered for USAFI courses which parallel Feather River College offerings. Credits
are posted to transcripts upon completion of all other graduation requirements. Students should
request the Military Evaluation form from the Admissions and Records Office and attach copies of
their DD214 and certificate.
