Theres a team of faculty board members who runs a soft background check
on your profile. They look at the skills and knowledge you gained outside the
classroom which is equivalent to the knowledge a degree holder in the
relevant field has. Considering that, our Faculty Board of Members evaluate

and convert your prior work experience into college credits.

Now the evaluation team decides your courses exemption based upon your
experience
Jay Clayton:its possible that you get 100% exemption
Lucy: I got it. Its something i'm considering to do thats why im researching
Jay Clayton:that mean you do not need to attend any courses
Jay Clayton:or give any exams
Jay Clayton:but if you do not get 100% exemption, lets suppose 50% or 60%
Jay Clayton:so you would have to study the remaining 40% of the courses
