Credit for Prior Learning

Prior learning assessments (PLAs) and portfolios are tools used to award college credit for your non-academic experiences and training by demonstrating that what you already know is equivalent to what you would have learned in an equivalent college course. Your prior knowledge and experience may have been acquired through your past work, military or other training, volunteering, and more. PLAs can help shorten the time it takes to complete your degree. Learn more about this option through the NJ Prior Learning Assessment Network overview or by inquiring directly with your institution.

Free College

The Community College Opportunity Grant makes SCCC affordable by covering tuition and approved fees. If you qualify as a NJ resident, you can receive full or reduced tuition based on your annual adjusted gross income. CCOG covers costs not covered by other federal and state aid or scholarships.
