Students at Bismarck State College may earn college credit through the non-traditional methods listed in this section. However, you must be a currently or previously enrolled BSC student to receive credit in this way.

A maximum of 45 semester hours of non-traditional college credit (e.g., AP, CLEP, military training, BSC challenge test credit, portfolio development, prior learning, and courses covered under high school articulation agreements) may be applied to an associate's degree, diploma, or certificate at BSC. A maximum of 60 semester hours of non-traditional college credit may be applied to a bachelor of applied science degree at BSC.

Students should be aware that each college has policies governing credits by non-traditional methods, and that credits awarded by BSC might not be accepted or awarded by other colleges.

The registrar will determine the suitability and applicability of these credits and courses toward meeting graduation requirements at BSC.
