Many people accumulate a wealth of knowledge through life learning and informal study. Unfortunately, many times this knowledge is not recognized because it was not obtained in a college classroom. It is the desire of Zion Christian University to acknowledge the skills and learning gained through life learning.

Therefore, Zion Christian University offers Life Learning Credit for the purpose of providing advanced standing to those eligible. Life Learning Credit is only available to those undergraduate students who qualify for advanced standing through life experience. A maximum of 30 credits may be awarded to an individual based on the criteria included in the Life Learning Portfolio. To apply for Life Learning Credit, request an application by writing to the Academic Dean.
