What If I Have An Associate Degree Or Credit For Prior Learning?

Transfer Guidance Element	What You Need to Know
Associate Transfer Degree Completion	If student has earned an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science from the community college setting, it will be accepted for transfer credit. Ds will be awarded transfer credit, except for a D in ENG111.
Completion of Associate Degree Concurrent with High School	Students who complete an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science through dual enrollment credits are treated as first time freshman but have the same rights and privileges of transfer direct from the community college setting. If student has earned an Associate Degree, Ds will be awarded transfer credit, except for a D in ENG111.
Credit for Prior Learning	Averett accepts CLEP, DANTES, AP, IB and Cambridge credits for students who meet specified scores. Students also have an option to complete a Portfolio course to request consideration to earn University credits for other prior learning.
Did You Know That...	Completing your Associate transfer degree post-high school satisfies all lower division general education requirements and increases the chance of completing your bachelor's degree? Exceeding 3 years or 90 credits at your community college means you may have exhausted your financial aid at that college and have limited your future financial aid at: Averett University
