Many students are eligible to receive credit for learning acquired through prior personal, educational, or professional experiences. If you meet the criteria below, you will be eligible to participate in Credit for Prior Learning (CPL):
- You must be admitted to an NWTC program.
- NOTE: Students can apply for credit for prior learning any time after acceptance into a program. You may only earn for a course that is within your program.
- You must be in good credit standing with the College.
- You cannot have any negative service indicators or holds on your account.
- You cannot have any outstanding debt with the College.
- You cannot have previously earned a grade for this course or attempted the course without completing it.
- You cannot have attempted a Prior Learning Assessment for this specific course in the past.
- You must complete 25% of your program courses through classes at NWTC. This means no more than 75% of your credits can be earned through CPL.
If you are not sure if you meet any of these requirement, please talk to your Admissions Advisor or Academic Advisor.
