Credit for Prior Learning Self Assessment

See if Credit for Prior Learning Assessment is Right for You

This quiz is designed to help you understand your options for earning credit through Credit for Prior Learning Assessment (CPL), which is a process that enables you to earn credit for college-level knowledge you have acquired outside the traditional classroom that is equivalent to what would have been learned in a college course on the same subject. This includes knowledge gained through professional and military training, work, licenses and certifications you possess and other experiences, including credit-by-exam programs and portfolio assessment.

The CPL Self-Assessment takes only a few minutes to complete. If you're a current Governors State University (GovState) student, please include your GovState ID number.
