How It Works
How can I make my learning count for university credit?
We value the wealth of knowledge and experiences you have gained outside the college or university classroom. Find out how they will translate into potential academic credit by using the Prior Learning Portal.
First, log into your account and password. Then, take these next steps.
Build Your Profile
Once logged in, you will complete a brief survey to build a profile of your experiences that may lead to university credit. This is a simple process that will take just a few minutes.
Review your Profile
At the end of building your profile, you will be able to review and make adjustments to information that is important when working with an advisor. Dont worry, you can edit this at anytime.
Get to Know Your Dashboard
Upon completing your profile, you will be introduced to your dashboard. Your dashboard will let you monitor your progress during each step of an assessment request.
Create and Submit Your Request
When you are ready, you will submit a request for an assessment.
Submit Your Application
Once you submit your request, you will be contacted by an advisor and connected with a faculty assessor.
Demonstrate your Knowledge
After you submit your application, you will work with your faculty assessor to determine the method of evaluation. Some of the most common assessments are:
- Credit by Exam
- Skills demonstration
- Interviews
- Portfolio
Review and Results
The faculty assessor will evaluate your proof of prior learning. They will determine if you have demonstrated college or university-level learning and approve or deny your request for credit.
