What kinds of courses are available for CPL credit?

*Comments about Nursing and CPL

  • Students must meet with a nursing advisor before permission is given to attempt nursing CPL.
  • Any student attempting CPL through portfolio submission must have an appropriate background of experience in the area specified by a particular course (EX: Community Health courses require some background in community health nursing care).
  • The number of years of experience required for nurses is now three (3) years (approximately 6,000 hours). The previous rule was five (5) years.
  • A letter of Proof of Experience is required.
  • A hard copy portfolio is required with two (2) CD copies (one for Nursing and one for CPL Department).
  • Residency Requirements for 国产AV require students to have at least thirty (30) hours of courses taken through 国产AV. CPL does meet residency requirement rules.

What courses are NOT available for credit by portfolio?

The courses covered by CLEP, Departmental Examination, DANTES, and ACE methods of earning credit will not be eligible for credit through the portfolio process. (See pages 5 and 6 of the CPL Student Handbook 2014 - 2015 for more information on these methods for earning credit.)
