Credit for Prior Learning
Credit for Prior Learning
With the agreement of department faculty, program coordinators 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.
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.
