Millions of adult learners have valuable knowledge gained from work, military service, or life experiences. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) can help them earn degrees faster and more affordably. The new American Council on Education-CAEL report, "The National Landscape of Credit for Prior Learning", explores how CPL policies can drive equity, affordability, and student success. It includes a groundbreaking database of over 360 state and system CPL policies to guide institutions and policymakers in scaling these life-changing opportunities.

ACE is proud to partner with CAEL on this database and report that is certain to be a vital resource for #highereducation leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders in supporting adult learners. Many thanks to everyone for their tireless efforts on this project! Maria Claudia Soler, Ph.D., Becky Klein-Collins, Erica Swirsky, Kara Seidel, Rachel G. A. Hirsch, Hironao Okahana
We at CAEL are excited to release, in partnership with the American Council on Education (ACE), the results of a national scan of state and system policies on Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). Almost every state has some kind of state or system CPL policy on the books. Most have originated with legislation, but state agencies, governor’s offices, and postsecondary systems also have had a lot to say about how CPL is offered and administered. The CAEL and ACE research teams categorized more than 360 state and system policies according to 11 different policy themes — including methods of assessment, requiring each institution to have a CPL policy, transcription, transfer, data collection, to name just a few. Our analysis of these policies, along with examples for each of the themes, is available in a new policy brief, The National Landscape of Credit for Prior Learning (CPL): Effective State and System Policies for Success and Equity. But even more exciting is an interactive database with filters for state, policy theme, and the source of the policy (e.g., legislation, state administrative code, etc.). Both are available here: https://hubs.li/Q02_ZWtP0 CAEL and ACE together have more than a century of experience in advocating for CPL. We hope you enjoy this new offering from our joint efforts! #CPL #CreditForPriorLearning #Policy Rachel G. A. Hirsch, Becky Klein-Collins, Maria Claudia Soler, Ph.D., Erica Swirsky, Kara Seidel
