The Higher Education Skills Equivalency Accreditation Program (HESEAP) is a proprietary academic evaluation system developed by USILACS to formally assess and recognize prior learning achieved through academic coursework, professional experience, ministry service, and other relevant life accomplishments.
Based on a comprehensive review of submitted documentation—including transcripts, certifications, resumes, portfolios, and service records—qualified students are awarded Classroom Learning Credits (CLC). These credits are granted only when the prior learning is determined to meet or exceed the academic standards and learning outcomes required for USILACS coursework.
Any award of CLC credits effectively reduces the required in-classroom time for graduation, allowing eligible students to accelerate their path to degree completion while maintaining academic rigor and integrity. The HESEAP process ensures that all credit awarded is both transparent and fully aligned with USILACS’ institutional accreditation and curriculum standards.
Prospective students are encouraged to review the HESEAP guidelines and consult with an academic advisor to determine eligibility prior to enrollment.
The HESEAP program offers the greatest potential for substantial savings, both in time to graduate and in cost. Tuition is entirely waived for any course(s) for which the student receives HESEAP credit. Students are only required to pay a $84.95 final exam fee for any courses in which tuition is waived.
