Prior Learning Credit in American Sign Language
A student wanting advancement placement in American Sign Language courses above ASL 101 must meet with a faculty member in the American Sign Language and Interpreting Studies (ASLIS) department for a placement screening. A student may receive prior learning credits, provided a grade of “B” (3.0) or higher is earned in the student’s first UNC course taken above ASL 101.
After receiving a “B” or higher grade students must petition the Office of the Registrar in order to be awarded the prior learning credits. Petition forms are available in the ASLIS office.
