Credit for Prior Learning
Students in college hail from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences,
including college-level study. CUNY is dedicated to providing all its students with fair
chances to be recognized and acknowledged for what they know and can achieve,
including high-quality college degree programs.
Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), also known as Prior Learning Assessment, is an
academic method that allows students to obtain college credits for learning outside
of the classroom.
What can you expect?
• Has the potential to increase student retention and graduation rates,
particularly for students from underrepresented groups.
• Can help increase enrolment by targeting specific groups of students
• Working with industry partners is a key approach.
• Provides additional faculty professional development opportunities, including
more expertise on learning outcomes
• Does not lack in quality or integrity
An institution's practises are just as important as its regular curriculum and
examinations in determining how students are evaluated.
• Does NOT take away enrolments
On average, CPL students take 17 more credits at their institution than non-CPL
students
• Does NOT take away workload
Rarely will there be enough Instead; students having CPL credits will enrol in the
next level course, boosting the chances of those classes being filled.
• Is not related to academics in any way
CPL is a three-part educational process that includes analysing and recognizing
learning from any source, articulating learning to the curriculum, and counselling
students via assessment and evaluation.
Ways to get credit:
At CUNY, credit for prior learning is granted through various methods. Learn more
about the various ways to demonstrate your knowledge and get credit.
Occupations and Military Training
Credit recommendations from the ACE Military Guide, Joint Services Transcript
(JST), and nationally acclaimed DSST credit-by-exam Program (DSST) and Defence
Language Proficiency Tests are used by CUNY institutions to award credit for
knowledge and experience obtained via military service (DLPT).
Standardized exams
CUNY universities accept the following standardized tests for credit. For more
information, see the following:
• Advanced Placement (AP)
• AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education)
• CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
• DLPT (Defence Language Proficiency Tests)
• DSST Credit by Examination
• Baccalaureate (International Baccalaureate) (IB)
Qualifications in the Industry
Licenses, certificates, and training that have been evaluated by the American
Council on Education (ACE) or the National College Credit Recommendation Service
can earn CPL credit at CUNY campuses (NCCRS). Professional Learning
Evaluations (PLEs) of training and credentials that ACE or NCCRS has not reviewed
may also be conducted by colleges.
Portfolio Evaluation
Individualized credit for past learning proven via the building of a portfolio is available
at several CUNY institutions. Students can use the portfolio approach to document
their work-related learning, community service, self-study, and personal experiences,
which academics or other topic experts can then evaluate.
