Pierpont new residency requirement

[ss20ts]

Pierpont requiring 12 Pierpont residency credits is not doable, however. I do find it interesting that it says, "The institution granting the degree may require the student to complete up to three credit hours at the host institution." That wording pretty clearly implies that Pierpont can't require more than three credits be completed at Pierpont for the BOG degree.

Someone should contact them and point this out, also mention that no other WV college requires more than 3 Residency credits.

I also believe there is still confusion in academia about the difference between RA credits, NA credits and ACE approved college equivalent credits.

It may not matter what other WV colleges require. Pierpont is working through some issues to keep their accreditation so this could impact the residency changes.
