Who is it for?
All Moraine Valley students. Interested students should meet with an academic advisor to make sure they understand the requirements for their degree before investigating whether proficiency credit will be helpful.

How long does the process take?
Generally, no longer than a few weeks.

Do Proficiency Credits transfer?
Students should check with the transfer school to verify acceptance of proficiency credits.

How do I begin the process?
Bring copies of certificate or test results to the Academic Outreach office, Building B, Room B260. Registration/grade forms are available there.
