Evaluated Credit
A student may receive credit for formal military training or coursework sponsored by civilian organizations. Navarro College will award credit for associate degree-level work as recommended in the American Council on Education’s books, Guide to Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and the National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs. The Joint Services Transcript (JST) is also evaluated for credit. The College also grants credit for coursework completed through The Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) program.
Since the recommendations made in these books are general in nature, such credit may be counted as electives or to meet general education requirements but cannot be used in lieu of specific course requirements unless equivalency can be established. The decision regarding equivalency rests with the appropriate executive dean. Students who are awarded credits on this basis will have the subject area and credit earned recorded on their permanent record card after they have completed twelve (12) semester hours in residence at Navarro College with a grade-point-average of 2.0 (“C”) or better. Students are not permitted to receive evaluated credit by this procedure and credit by examination for the same work.
Navarro College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate and baccalaureate degrees. Navarro College also may offer credentials such as certificates and diplomas at approved degree levels. Questions about the accreditation of Navarro College may be directed in writing to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, by calling (404) 679-4500, or by using information available on SACSCOC's website (www.sacscoc.org).
