Credit for Prior Learning

Students often achieve college-level learning outside the classroom through professional work, military service, certifications, training, volunteerism, and other life experiences. The Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) Program at the University of Memphis allows students to demonstrate the academic value of that learning. Prior knowledge and skills are evaluated for alignment with university coursework. Through CPL, students may earn credit hours, avoid repeating material, and accelerate graduation. Undergraduate students may petition for up to 30 credit hours, depending on their degree program. Eligible experiences may qualify through pre-assessed credit or a reflective portfolio process.
