What is Credit for Prior Learning?

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) allows students to earn college credit for validated college-level skills and knowledge gained outside of a traditional classroom setting.

In the Work Experience Education department, students may be eligible to earn WEE 99i credit by demonstrating evidence of learning goals achieved through relevant work experience. To earn CPL credit, students will submit a portfolio, which includes a narrative essay, job description, verification of work hours, and a resume.

If you would like to apply for WEE 99i credit through CPL, please complete the Credit for Prior Learning Application.
