Credit for Prior Learning

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) recognizes the academic value of non-traditional experiences, such as work and life achievements. This approach offers multiple avenues for earning credits, including Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and more. At Chemeketa, students can enroll in CPL120 to work alongside faculty evaluators to develop portfolios that highlight their learning. CPL enhances accessibility for adult learners, promotes retention by reducing program time, and fosters student success through validation of their accumulated knowledge.
