Reviewed & Updated: August 2024

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is a process for evaluating a student’s learning and awarding appropriate college credit based on the demonstration of college-level learning.  Nicolet is committed to making every effort to ensure students receive appropriate CPL to minimize duplication of competencies attained from previous education, life, or work experience; lessen the cost of duplicative education; and accelerate the achievement of educational goals and credentialing. 

Students are encouraged to discuss their previous education and experiences with their Success Coach.  The Success Coach can provide more information regarding CPL. For additional information, please see Credit for Prior Learning
