NCCRS is pleased to support Start From Yes, a new initiative from the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and Sova focused on advancing credit evaluation and learning mobility.

For more than 50 years, NCCRS has worked to expand opportunities for learners to receive academic recognition for learning acquired outside traditional college classrooms. We are proud to support an initiative that shares our commitment to thoughtful, transparent, and student-centered approaches to recognizing learning.

A recent NCCRS evaluation brought our team to the NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (NYSDOCCS) Training Academy in Albany, where evaluators reviewed 13 courses for the revalidation of previous college credit recommendations.

NYSDOCCS has been an NCCRS member organization since 1978, reflecting a longstanding commitment to high-quality workforce training.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue working with NYSDOCCS in support of learners and educational pathways.
