Did you do a PLA or anything out of the ordinary besides testing?

Is it just me or could this kind of be seen as a backhanded compliment award? Like, hey, here's this award for graduating without actually going to college! I have mixed feelings on this one because, hey, an extra blurb for my resume. I just kinda hope employers don't look up what it means...

I received one too. I just did the minimum credit for residency at TESC using TECEP's and the Capstone. Looks good on a resume. I wrote something like "Recipient of Arnold Fletcher award for academic achievement"
