Credit for Prior Learning

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is a process by which students can earn college-level, academic credit for past knowledge and experiences. It encompasses knowledge, skills, and competencies that students have obtained because of on-the-job training, the awarding of a certificate or license, military experience, independent study and more. It is an alternative way for students to be awarded credits towards their credential completion.
