Prior Learning Credit
South Dakota State University values the knowledge you have gained outside of our classrooms. If you have studied a subject independently, or successfully completed college-level coursework for which an acceptable transcript is not available, you may still be able to gain academic credit for this learning and knowledge gained through several options 成人视频 has in place. To get started, explore the options listed below to determine what may be a good fit for you.
To have Prior Learning Credit placed upon a transcript, you must be a degree seeking student at a South Dakota Board of Regents institution.
