Unleashing Credit for Prior Learning

St. Cloud State University

Background 

Students at St. Cloud State University needed more credit for prior learning (CPL) opportunities, and through South Central College’s groundbreaking work, faculty and administrators saw a path to expand CPL. Using innovation funding, St. Cloud State provided comprehensive training to several “CPL champions” who help lead the college to a more comprehensive use of CPL. Best practices from South Central College and other national leaders are included.
