Do people usually actually receive academic credit for experiential learning?
This, of course, depends upon the quality of their portfolios. It also depends upon for which courses they write their narrative essays (the primary document within the portfolios which documents learning outcomes specific to credit requests), and the particular academic programs which assess them. If you have questions about your specific program’s interest in the Credit for Prior Learning Program, consult your AST 401/501 instructor, the CPL Assessment Coordinator, or your faculty advisor.
