If I’m already working in the digital media field do I have to take this course?

The short answer is no. However, please make sure that you notify your instructor about this before the census date so that they can work with you to ensure that the line of work you do qualifies as work experience credit. There are quite a few things one has to verify in order to earn experiential learning credit. Additionally, you will need to get a letter of proof from your employer, fill out an experiential learning credit form, get it approved by the instructor, chair, dean, and VP of the college. Then the experiential learning credit needs to be submitted to student success so that it can properly be reflected in your transcript.
