Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) at Cape Cod Community College is designated to fast track students towards a degree or certificate. CPL can save money and time by turning prior professional experience, life experience, and military experience into academic learning and college credit.
CPL is awarded through a variety of assessments such as national exams (CLEP and AP exams), International baccalaureate courses, high school Seal of Biliteracy, CVTE articulation agreements, internal challenge exams, professional licenses, certification, or portfolio reviews. Credit earned for prior learning experience must meet a course requirement for a specific degree or certificate and does not count towards the required residency requirement. The Office of the Registrar evaluates and processes transfer credits based on earned credit from various institutions and organizations.
Please contact the Office of the Registrar for more information.
