Don’t miss out on credit you’ve earned<\/h1>\n\n

Credit for Prior Learning pathways are opportunities for students to provide evidence of their college-level learning to gain college credit.<\/p>\n\n\nI want more information<\/a>\n\nI have prior learning<\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Learning doesn\u2019t just happen in a classroom. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At URI, we believe learning happens in a variety of ways including through work and life experiences, industry certifications, and military service.  If you have prior learning experiences, for example, from the workforce, a certificate program, training, apprenticeship, licensure, the military, or elsewhere,<\/strong> you may qualify to earn college credit at URI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) program, students can receive college credit for their college-level learning that has occurred outside of the traditional academic environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
