Trident recognizes that many of our students have acquired knowledge through their employer, military service, or other pursuits. Students are encouraged to submit all prior learning credit upon admission. Credit for prior learning experience at Trident may be earned in a variety of ways:

Military Credit
Trident grants undergraduate credit for military education as recommended by the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. This is in accordance with transfer credit policies at Trident. Students may request evaluation of military credit by submitting official Joint Service Transcripts (JST) to the Office of Admissions.
Credit by Examination
Trident awards credit only for AP test scores of “3” and higher, if the test is equivalent to current course offerings. AP exam scores must come directly from The College Board in a sealed envelope to be considered valid. Other exams considered: College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST/DANTES), Excelsior College Examinations.
Professional Programs
Trident may award credit for professional training and learning programs with credit recommended in the ACE Credit National Guide or National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS). Students are required to submit the Prior Learning Assessment Submission form and official documentation of the completed training program to the Office of the Registrar.
International Transfer
Trident University will record and apply international credits for transfer with appropriate international credential evaluation by a recognized agency. Students may refer to www.naces.org to select an evaluation agency. International credit will be posted to the undergraduate student’s permanent record only if applied to meet degree requirements.
