Proficiency Credit allows a Moraine Valley student to received credit for vocational, noncredit training for which certificates have been earned.

Process for obtaining credit:

  2. You will receive an overview of the proficiency credit process, facilitate preparation of required forms, and assign a Fire Service Management faculty member to review the request.
  3. Students seeking college credit through the Proficiency Credit process must be a registered student at Moraine Valley Community College.
  4. Students pay a fee for each course posted to their transcript. The current fee is $25, subject to change.
  5. 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.
