This guide is intended for use by counselors, providing them with credit recommendations and course descriptions to assist the process of granting credit to students for learning acquired in noncollegiate activity. The guide is divided into two sections. Section 1 contains course exhibits for courses which have been reviewed and recommended for credit since the Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction began in 1974. Section 2 contains exhibits for courses conducted by organizations under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and recommended for credit. Each course in the guide is listed in the course index alphabetically by title under the name of the organization--almost all located in New York--that offers it. Each course exhibit provides the following information: title, course number, location, length, dates, objective, instruction (topics covered, teaching methods and materials used), and credit recommendations. The guide also contains background information on the program, information for students and administrators, and suggestions for use. (KC)
