Advanced Credit

Credits may be awarded by examination toward a bachelors degree provided that the scores meet established standards. We recognize that many students have gained relevant knowledge and experience which can be applied to an academic curriculum.  In all cases, students must have an official score report sent to Georgia College for evaluation of credit. Information on policies and various testing options are below.
