Credit for Prior Learning

Credit for Prior Learning recognizes the valuable skills and learning students have gained outside the classroom, through work, military service, certifications, or other experiences. CPL offers students a faster, more affordable path to completion and helps validate their real-world expertise.​

The California Community College Chancellor’s office encourages us to emphasize that CPL is not credit for skills or experience, but credit for learning.​
