Lifelong Learning Credit Portfolio

Adults learn constantly -- on the job, in relationships, through reading, travel, hobbies, and life events. As an adult student, you probably have acquired college-level knowledge outside the classroom in several areas. You can claim college credit for this prior learning by enrolling in a 3-credit course, IDS102 , and constructing a document called a portfolio that presents the evidence necessary for your learning to be evaluated. All portfolios share three common elements:

  • A college course description that serves as the standard against which students' knowledge is measured;

  • A personal narrative in which students describe what they did, what they learned, and how they applied their knowledge; and

  • Evidence from a variety of sources that supports students' claims to knowledge.

After reading through this information, if you have other questions or would like to discuss the process, we encourage you to contact the Director, Mr. Richard Trader MMsc RRT PA-C , at:
