Proficiency Credit
Proficiency credit appears on a student’s official ECC transcript, but it carries no grade value and does not affect a student’s grade point average. It can be used to fulfill up to 50 percent of the credit hours required for an ECC degree or certificate, but cannot be used to fulfill the residency requirements of ECC degrees. You must first be formally admitted to ECC to take proficiency tests at the college. Whether a course is available for proficiency credit is shown with its course description. More»
