Credit for Prior Learning Application
Section One
(Completed by student)
Credit for prior learning is credit granted to a student by MSUM for learning that has taken place prior to admission to MSUM.
Typically, this learning takes place because of job or volunteer experience. Credit is granted when sufficient documentation of
this learning is presented and evaluated as college level learning. Students who have been admitted to a degree program at
MSUM and completed a minimum of 16 graded credits with a GPA of 2.0 or better (satisfactory academic standing) are eligible to
apply. Credit for prior learning is not granted for graduate credits.
Students who wish to obtain credit for prior learning should make an appointment with the faculty evaluator (who evaluates the
subject matter the student wishes to pursue credit for) and bring preliminary, or sample, validation to that meeting. This
validation is evidence of learning that is not in the form of a finished portfolio and therefore can be completed more quickly but
yet enough for the faculty evaluator to determine the credit a student is eligible to earn.
