CPL Application Process

This process will be initiated by the student.

1. Students will request Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) by submitting the CPL Request Form or the AP Equivalency Request Form.
   1. It is recommended that the student will first meet with a counselor to determine if CPL aligns with their educational plan. However, this is not required.

3. The faculty member will discuss the merits of CPL with the student and explain the assessment instrument used to determine course credit.
4. The student will indicate their acceptance, decline, or appeal on the CPL Form prior to its submission to the Admissions and Records office.
5. CPL may only be awarded for a course listed in the District's current course catalog.
