Ashford nontraditional credit info

[a2jc4life]

I have trouble finding this information every time I look for it online, so I'm copying-and-pasting from the catalog as a reference for me and for anyone else who needs the info down the road.  This is Ashford University's commentary on nontraditional credit:

Ashford University recognizes the uniqueness of each student’s experience and realizes that learning takes place in a variety of environments. Nontraditional credits can be awarded in three ways: through national testing programs, through national credit recommendations, and through prior learning assessment. National testing programs include AP: Advanced Placement, Berlitz, CLEP: College Level Examination Program, DSST: DANTES Subject Standardized Tests, Excelsior: UExcel, IB: International Baccalaureate and TECEP: Thomas Edison College Examination Program. National credit recommendations include ACE: American Council on Education, and National CCRS: National College Credit Recommendation Service. Prior learning assessment includes Sponsored Professional Training and Experiential Essays. National testing programs and national credit recommendations should be transferred in through the Registrar's Office. All Prior Learning submissions should be processed by the Prior Learning Assessment Department. Please review the Nontraditional Credit Provisions and Limitations sections for additional information regarding nontraditional credits. 

(A maximum of 90 transfer credits may be applied toward a bachelor degree.  Within those, a maximum of 75 may be nontraditional, and within those, a maximum of 30 may be PLA.  At least 30 of the degree-required credits must be completed at Ashford.)
