EPSO:COLLEGECREDITTHROUGHSAYLORACADEMYDuring the blended learning time (formerly “study hall”), students have the option of working on Saylor Academy courses. Successful completion of the final exam for these courses could allow students to earn college credit at Southwest Tennessee Community College.

Southwest Tennessee Community College will award Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) credit for the Saylor Academy courses listed in the table below.

The American Council on Education (ACE) has assessed these courses and has found that they meet student-learning outcomes at the college level. To receive college credit for these Saylor Academy courses, ProctorU must proctor the final exam for the course. The Saylor Academy course must be posted on an official ACE CREDIT transcript. Transcripts from Saylor Academy will not serve as evidence of course completion for PLA purposes.

Saylor Academy courses do not count for high school credit.
