The uSeminary Prior Learning Credit (PLC) Program
Through a special arrangement with Trevecca University’s Center for Worship, uSeminary students who successfully complete three preapproved courses (which will be identified by a red PLC logo) are eligible for one college credit from Trevecca University. Specialty certificates will be treated on a case-by-case basis in terms of the number of PLCs awarded.
uSeminary PLCs are designed for students who want to apply the knowledge they’ve gained from uSeminary courses toward an actual college degree. All uSeminary courses eligible for PLCs will be based on a book, reference work, lecture series, or previously offered college course. PLC courses will feature a minimum of 20 lessons or classes and include at least four electronically graded multiple-choice progression quizzes. Students must score 80% or above on each quiz before they can continue to the next section of the course.
The Trevecca University Center for Worship will design and email a certificate of completion to uSeminary students who successfully complete PLC approved courses. They will also provide instructions for registering as a student at Trevecca, information about continuing toward a Bachelor of Arts degree, and other pertinent educational details.
