Validation Credit
Transfer students from a Mississippi community college in a “Partnership Pathways” agreement with MUW’s School of Education who have earned an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in early childhood prior to being admitted to MUW may request to have specific community college technical courses considered for validation credit. Validation credit of competencies developed through community college technical coursework will be awarded to each student on a case by case basis for demonstration of corresponding MUW academic competencies through pass/fail testing. Students must submit a request to take validation test(s) during their initial semester at MUW, however validation credit will not be awarded until the transferring student has successfully completed one academic semester as a full-time MUW student with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Qualified students may attempt to pass a validation examination once only. Qualified students interested in validation credit should contact the School of Education’s Navigator or the Education Department Chair for more information.
Re-Admission:
Each undergraduate education student who has previously earned MUW education coursework beginning with the ED prefix more than five years older than the most current published MUW Undergraduate Bulletin will be required to (1) retake the course(s) or (2) as an exception for this purpose may take and must pass the validation credit test corresponding to the course in question, if a validation test is available, to receive credit. Qualified students may attempt to pass a validation examination once only. Qualified students interested to learn more about validation credit should contact the School of Education’s Navigator or the Education Department Chair for more information.
