Section 135-59-16 - Micro-Credentials

16.2. Institutions may offer micro-credentials for credit or non-credit to currently enrolled students (internal) or to transient students (external) enrolling for a specific set of courses.

16.3. Micro-credentials awarded to a student may be stackable and grouped or aggregated to provide a pathway to larger credentials. That is, micro-credentials may be used as credits for the awarding of a traditional degree. Non-credit micro-credentials may be converted to credit via the CPL process as outlined in Section 5 of this rule.

16.4. Students who successfully complete a micro-credential, whether credit or non-credit, will earn a digital badge or institutionally recorded and approved credential for verification to students, whether full-time, part-time, or non-credit. Upon successful completion of the micro-credential, institutions shall keep records of all earned non-credit badges or credentials.
