DeVry credit for Cisco certifications?

[smoo006]

Hi,

I am currently looking into attending DeVry to get a Network and Communications Management degree. I recently spoke with an admissions advisor and he told me that because I have a CCNA certification, that would credit me 4 of the required 15 or so networking curriculum classes. He couldn't tell me anything about any of the other certifications I have though. I have a CCNP, CCDP, CCVP and a few cisco specializations. Does anyone have experience on what DeVry's policy is for this? I don't want to challenge a dozen classes proving I know what VoIP is or what the OSI model is!!!

Devry University vs. ITT Tech

Some people had some comments about the school you posted

Did you choose DeVry for your degree? Did they credit your Cisco certifaction for some credit hours?
I am thinking to attend DeVry for Tech Management too and currently they are checking my AS degree earning from Masters Institute is transferable as well as my CCNA, MCSE, A+ etc. I am hoping they can do Max credit transfer from my previous school credit in order for me to consider.

Actually no. I have decided not to attend DeVry. Turns out that they will not give any more than the 4 courses for the CCNA. If you have any other Cisco certifications they will not give you credit or course exemptions. I have no experience with A+ or MCSE so I can't vouch for that. If you have an associates degree already, they seem to be pretty liberal with college credit.

I am currently attending DeVry and what they offer is the opportunity to take proficiency exams for the courses that you certifications would cover. From the student handbook
"Proficiency Testing
Undergrad uate Stud ents – All
Proficiency exams allow students who feel they have already mastered course material
to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge in a particular course. Students who wish to
proficiency a course or courses must apply to do so with their academic advisor. Students
receive proficiency credit for a course when they score 80 percent or higher on a
proficiency exam . Proficiency credit is noted on students’ academic progress reports and
transcripts but is not included in grade point averages. Requests for proficiency exams
are denied for students:

y Currently enrolled in the course beyond the add period.

y Previously enrolled in the course for which the exam is requested.

y Who previously failed the proficiency exam for the course.
Proficiency exams cost $5 per credit hour per exam. Students must complete the exam
prior to the end of the add period. Graduating senior s must complete any/all proficiency
exams before the end of the add period in their final term . Proficiency exams may not be
available for all courses.
After requesting to take the proficiency exam through an academic advisor, students
will be emailed their payment slip, proctor request form, and proctor instructions. Once
payment has been processed and the student’s proctor has been approved, an academic
advisor will request that the proficiency test be set up on the given date specified by the
student and the proctor.
Please note: Once payments have been processed, there is no refund. Students can only
attempt the test once. No study material will be provided. If students cannot make their
test date for any reason, they will need to begin the process from the beginning, including
all forms and payments (no refunds)."
