Credits for Prior Learning
The Prior Learning Assessment Process allows matriculated students to earn up to 30 elective credits for college-level knowledge that they have gained through life or work experience. Applying for prior learning credits consists of the following steps:
- Completing
- Developing a portfolio that identifies, documents, and requests credits for prior learning
- Paying a flat $250 for portfolio evaluation
The portfolio evaluation will ordinarily be completed within a two-month period. The University of Saint Joseph’s Prior Learning Assessment Process is consistent with best practices as defined by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL).
