Methods of assessing CPL may include but is not limited to: Credit By Examination (CBE) Joint Services Transcripts (JST) evaluation (military training) Industry recognized certification evaluation CPL may be awarded for course credit, general education area credit, and/or elective credit. Colleges should prioritize awarding CPL as course credit, which preserves the most transfer options.
When course credit is not possible or appropriate, GE area or elective credit may be awarded. Certain methods of assessing CPL and applying CPL may reduce a student’s ability to transfer and may negatively impact their ability to receive financial aid awards.
