From AACRAO: “82% of the responding institutions offer one or more CPL pathways to learners Among those with at least 3 years of data:  46% report an increase in the CPL pathways offered over the 3-year period. 48% observed an increase in the evaluation of learning for prior credit and/or number of credits awarded through CPL pathways 54% will not accept CPL in transfer, independent of whether CPL is offered at the institution 67% charge a fee for one or more types of CPL; few offer financial assistance to offset any fees 71% of institutions require a learner to be admitted to the institution before CPL can be evaluated for credit … 85% set a limit on the amount of credit awarded through CPL that may be applied to a credential.”
