proficiency credit process, facilitate preparation of required forms, and
assign a Fire Service Management faculty member to review the request.
- Students seeking college credit through
the Proficiency Credit process must be a registered student at Moraine
Valley Community College.
- Students pay a fee for each course posted
to their transcript. The current fee is $25, subject to change.
- Letter grades such as "A," "B," etc. are
not assigned. Instead "P" for pass is assigned. Grade point averages are not
affected by this grade.
The process is not immediate, but does take
some time. Planning ahead is encouraged.
