This series of Voices of Student Success focuses on adult learners in higher education, the various challenges they face and successful support mechanisms to aid their retention and completion.
Credit for prior learning (CPL) is one strategy colleges and states can employ to expedite adult learners’ progress toward degree and promote student success. Past research also shows that students’ who take advantage of f CPL opportunities have higher employment rates and increased earnings after graduation.
But administering CPL can be a challenge in part because of different departmental and academic disciplines’ understandings of and evaluation of prior experience.
In the most recent episode of Voices of Student Success, Colleen Sorensen, Utah Valley University’s director of CPL and student assessment services, discusses how her university is encouraging faculty and department heads to offer and promote CPL pathways.
Hosted by Inside Higher Ed Student Success Reporter Ashley Mowreader, this episode is sponsored by KI.
