The City University of New York (CUNY) and Queens College (QC) recognize that students entering or returning to college come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, including many that involve the equivalent of college-level learning.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0<\/span>CUNY Policy for the Use of Credit for Prior Learning<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>applies to all colleges of The City University of New York. The awarding of credit for the various nationally recognized standardized examinations is effective as of Fall 2021, but colleges and schools will be permitted to phase in the requirement of awarding credit for non-credit coursework as they establish campus-based procedures to do so and in alignment with university-wide standards and criteria. The awarding of credit via portfolio remains voluntary at this time.<\/p>\n Eligibility for Credit for Prior Learning<\/strong> CPL Credit and Student Transcript\u00a0<\/strong> CPL Credit and Residency Requirement<\/strong> CPL Course Equivalencies<\/strong> Credit Transfer Policy for StraighterLine, Sophia Learning and Study.com<\/b><\/p>\n Students may be awarded a maximum of 12\u00a0 Non-Liberal Arts Electives (NLAE) for successfully completed coursework through Straighter Line, Sophia Learning and Study.com. All eligible courses will be reviewed for content and credit alignment by the department before transfer credits are granted. Credits awarded through these platforms are subject to the college\u2019s transfer policies and academic standards.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Queens College recognizes prior learning and awards 8 credits for the New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB), allowing students to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English and earn college credit for knowledge acquired outside the traditional classroom.\u00a0 For more information on the NYSSB,\u00a0<\/span>click here<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
<\/span>QC offers CPL credit for several college-level examination programs that offer nationally recognized, subject-area examinations: AICE, AP, CLEP, DLPT, DSST, UEXCEL, IB<\/li>\n
<\/span>QC offers CPL credit for knowledge and experience gained through military service, using credit recommendations from the <\/span>American Council on Education (ACE) Military Guide.<\/a><\/li>\n
<\/span>QC offers CPL credit for licenses, certifications, and training that have been evaluated by the <\/span>American Council on Education (ACE) <\/a><\/span>or the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS).<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You must matriculate or be matriculating at the College in order to be eligible for any form of CPL credit options listed above. In addition, you may be required to submit official transcripts\/scores to CUNY or to QC.<\/p>\n
Credit for Prior Learning credits earned will be identified by CPL credit type on your student transcript with a grade of “CR\u201d. \u00a0CPL Credit will be awarded in the first term you are enrolled or the enrollment term when the credit is officially reported to the College. Credit for Prior Learning Credit cannot be used to repeat a class previously graded.<\/p>\n
Credit for Prior Learning credit does not count toward the undergraduate degree residency requirement. \u00a0In order to graduate from QC with an undergraduate degree, you must earn a minimum of 30 credits through courses taken at the College.<\/p>\n
Every effort has been made to give credit for specific courses or disciplines in the College\u2019s undergraduate offerings and in disciplines in which the College has faculty expertise. \u00a0When no specific course exists, the College shall give credit for prior learning to satisfy degree program requirements (general education or major or minor). General elective credit will only be given when no other option is available. <\/span><\/p>\n
