Is college credit automatically earned when someone successfully completes a course listed in The National Guide?
No. Successful completion of such a course results in actual college credit only when a postsecondary institution accepts the course toward a degree or certificate. Students who have already taken one of the courses listed in The National Guide, or who plan to take one, should contact the admissions office or their faculty advisors to determine the acceptability of the course for credit. The extent to which the content of the course is relevant to a students academic program of study forms the basis for determining the number of credits that will be accepted. More than 1,000 colleges and universities have agreed to accept, when appropriate, the ACE college-credit recommendations. See the list of these colleges at the ACE website. These are credit recommendations. A college is not required to grant as much credit as recommended by the reviewers, nor is a college limited to granting only the amount of credit.
