Apply Your Experiences Toward a Degree
The CPL policy applies to prior learning not covered by credit-by-exam options (AP, IB, CLEP, etc.). To qualify, students must be enrolled in a QU degree or certificate program.
Credit for Prior Learning:
-
Appears as transfer credit and counts toward transfer limits.
-
Does not impact GPA or satisfy residency or graded credit requirements.
-
Cannot duplicate existing credit or be awarded for learning acquired after matriculation.
-
Is limited to 25% of programs 30 credits or fewer (max 7.5 credits) and no more than 12 credits total.
-
Graduate programs that do not accept transfer credit cannot award CPL.
Credit is granted based on verified documentation submitted to Admissions or through ACE or military transcripts (JST/CCAF) reviewed with academic program directors.
