Life Learning Experience Credit - LLE

Life Learning Experience credit may be granted upon evaluation of accomplishments and experiences not ordinarily considered part of the traditional academic study. These activities may include, but are not limited to, professional experiences in business, industry or the community; supervision of volunteer activities; foreign language skills gained through travel; apprenticeship positions. All such experiences must be shown to relate to educational goals and will be evaluated in terms of their contribution to learning. Students interested in the LLE program should contact the Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies for application materials.

The procedural steps to be followed in applying for LLE credit are:

1. Set up meetings with the appropriate department chair(s) for LLE consideration.

2. Contact the Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies and complete the online LLE Credit Application.

3. Complete the LLE portfolio and submit to the appropriate department chair(s) for review, consisting of the chair(s) and the Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies to be considered for approval of credit (see Appendix A for an example portfolio organizational template). The Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies will communicate the decision of the committee and facilitate any next steps
