Credit for Prior Learning
Credit for Prior Learning
Department chairs, program coordinators, and others may submit a request to have certain industry-recognized trainings or credentials count as equivalent for specified credit-bearing courses.
This process is in place to align course equivalencies with standard, industry-recognized trainings, certificates, credentials, or similar, which may be available across certain professional disciplines.
Faculty requesting CPL may contact the office of graduate studies and adult learning for assistance and support.
Requests will route to department chairs and deans based on the home department of any course equivalencies requested. The approval process is managed in a Kuali workflow.
Once a CPL equivalency is set up, eligible active students who present valid evidence of having completed that specific training or credential can apply to have the approved associated credit added to their transcript by the transfer coordinator in the registrar's office.

The decision to allow the opportunity for a student to attempt to earn CPL by exam is entirely at the discretion of the academic department responsible for the course(s) in question.
