Student Handbook
Credit for Applicable Work Experience

Part I Part II Part III Part IV

Students enrolled in CLS programs who have extensive clinical laboratory experience may be granted academic credit for some or all of that work experience. For example, certified medical laboratory technicians may submit a portfolio describing and validating their work experience, listing instruments used, procedures performed, and learning acquired. Using this portfolio, the student MAY receive credit for work experience.

Students wishing to receive credit for on-campus courses may apply for such credit using a portfolio. Written examinations may be required to verify that the student has acquired necessary knowledge in addition to laboratory skills.
