Course Exemption Policy
Life Experience Credit Award Program
The Life Experience Credit Award Program (LECAP) recognizes that some students may have acquired knowledge and skills through life experiences as well as through formal credit courses. These programs allow students the opportunity to ask that their life experiences be evaluated as educational experiences and credited toward an undergraduate college degree. Credit may be awarded for undergraduate academically verifiable college-level learning acquired through professional experiences, service, noncredit structured and community learning and educational travel.
For further information call 978 665 3321 or 3319.
Course exemption for non-nursing courses
For non-nursing courses, students must submit an official transcript to the Registrar of the college for evaluation. The registrar's office then determines with input from the appropriate academic departments if the courses can be taken in lieu of required courses in the nursing major. Course exemption is awarded based on the similarities of the courses, as well as the grade achieved in the course to be used in place of a required course.
Course exemption for nursing courses
There is no course exemption for nursing courses from other institutions. The only exception is for registered nurses who are seeking to complete their Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Please refer to the Advanced Placement R.N. policy under the Undergraduate Program section.
