Credit for Prior Learning

Academic Credit for Prior Learning (ACPL), as defined by the Washington State Legislature (RCW 28B.77.230), recognizes students' knowledge and skills gained through:

• Work and life experience

• Military training and experience

• Formal and informal education and training from in-state and out-of-state institutions, including foreign institutions

ACPL can help students complete their programs sooner by evaluating their prior learning for college credit. Currently, students at Clark may pursue the following types of ACPL:

• Advanced Placement (AP)

• Cambridge International (CI)

• Certification Crosswalks

• College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

• Course Challenges

• International Baccalaureate (IB)

• Military Experience
