And that may well be your opinion, but the fact is that whether or not colleges give or deny credit for things like life or work experience, coursework from another college or institution, AP or EOC exams, etc, remains entirely up to the discretion of the individual colleges IAW their program requirements, their experiences with previous students, and the recommendations of the program directing departments themselves.

In lieu of that, are you (and others here) now advocating for some form of 'common core' standardized college credit awarding system?
