Credit from Work Experience

[ss20ts]

I saw on the UMPI application that there is a check box to speak with an advisor about getting credits from your work experience. 

I believe that I'd be able to get some business credits, but I was wondering has anyone had success getting credits via work experience?

It's possible, but they don't count toward your 30 credits and I was informed by a professor that the ordeal of putting together a portfolio was more work than just taking a class. I didn't do it as it didn't seem worth it to me at the time.

This is the PLA credits not work experience credits. These are 2 different things. The PLA's are never recommended to YourPace students because they're multiple papers, documentation, and letters from supervisors. The work experience credits aren't like this. There have been folks on here who have received work experience credits. It's a totally different process and you have to speak to your academic advisor about them. They also don't count in the 30 residency credits.
