ACE Credits

National Louis University recognizes that significant learning experiences may have occurred during the course of a student’s life in light of the personal and professional experiences. Such examples include, but are not limited to, the following: The United States Armed Forces military service, training programs or examinations completed at companies or organizations (e.g., government agencies, unions, businesses). 

Because students may have gained competence through such experiences, NLU follows the American Council on Education’s Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services and National Guide to College Credit to Workforce Training to award credit for students. Additionally, ACE vets courses and providers of alternative credit, to which NLU has articulated course equivalence information related to accepted credit – learn more about course equivalencies here.
