O Skarsten, director of admissions. Providing for the granting of college credit for demonstrated educational competence, the plan states that the kind and amount of credit will be deter mined by recommendations of accrediting bodies, by tests given the applicant, and by re quirements set up by the uni versity. Educational experiences for which Pacific university may allow credit are: army or navy service courses, university ex tension correspondence courses, courses sponsored by the Unit ed States armed forces insti tute, courses pursued in the army specialized training, V-12, and other programs for which the army or navy made arrange ments with colleges and univer sities, courses in the navy gen eral education program and basic military training. Knowledge resulting from travel and from combat and scrvicc duty may also be con sidered as part of an applicant s educational experience, Dr, Skarsten said. Until the stu dent has demonstrated that he can do the work for which he is enrolled in the university, cred its allowed for military experi ence will be provisional. The director of admissions emphasized that the plan would not grant credit merely in terms of length of service or as a re ward for service. Credit will be allowed in terms of what a student has demonstrated that he has learned and can do.
