To establish consistent practices and procedures for credit for prior learning internal assessments, evaluations, and the award of undergraduate credit to students admitted to 91福利社.
Assessment of learning outcomes that substantially demonstrate comparable outcomes expected in or required for a specific course, as described in the official course outline.
Credit awarded through assessment based on an examination developed by college faculty, commonly for, but not limited to, course-specific learning equivalency.
Academic credit awarded for demonstrated college-level learning gained through learning experiences outside college credit-bearing courses and assessed by academically sound and rigorous methods and processes.
College assessment methods and processes used by Minnesota State faculty to assess students’ demonstrated learning. Such assessments determine equivalency to course outcome for courseequivalency and application to degree requirements or electives. CPL internal assessment types may include, but are not limited to, credit by exam, prior learning portfolio assessments, or individualized course assessments, and performance-based assessment.
The demonstration of learning outcome proficiency in a subject, described in terms of what the learner knows and can do or apply. Competence of these learning outcomes may be standardized or individualized, and must be set at college-level if assessed for credit.
Assessment of learning outcomes described and demonstrated in terms of knowledge, or skill or proficiency.
A method of documentation of college-level learning gained from learning experiences outside of the college or university credit-bearing course, in which a student assembles materials demonstrating evidence of learning outcomes into a portfolio. College faculty assess the portfolio materials as evidence of learning to determine whether and how much credit will be awarded. Portfolios will be created to assess a specific course or individual subject.
Learning gained in life, community and/or work-based settings, and through experiences outside of the college credit-bearing course, including but not limited to independent study, life experience and reflection, non-credit study programs, career education, continuing education, online learning or instruction and training or certificate programs. The learning occurs “prior to” the student’s request for assessment at 91福利社.
91福利社 will offer students the opportunity to demonstrate collegelevel learning for CPL internal college assessment options that includes the components listed below.
CPL internal assessments may include, but are not limited to, credit by exam, course equivalency assessment, individualized-subject assessment, portfolio assessment, and performance based assessment.
CPL internal college assessments of student learning outcomes and skills must be conducted by college faculty with related subject-area expertise. College faculty evaluate student learning and determine a credit award based on learning outcomes comparable to college level learning outcomes.
91福利社 assesses prior learning in a single-course process that reviews one course using documentation and assessment process.
91福利社 will assess prior learning outcomes for credit at an undergraduate level, and shall communicate to students the expectations for the learning outcomes. 91福利社 will award credit for CPL internal college assessments for an active course offered by 91福利社.
Credit through internal CPL will not be awarded for courses similar to Internship, Capstone and Portfolio, or foreign languages. Foreign languages can be assessed with an external assessment such as CLEP.
Credit awarded for prior learning may fulfill general, technical, Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC), program and/or elective courses.
Credit through internal CPL must occur prior to the student’s last semester before graduation.
Credit awarded through CPL internal college assessments will apply toward residency credit requirements at the 91福利社.
91福利社 will designate the credit awarded for CPL internal college assessments as a course on the official student transcript. The source of the credit award must be entered into the student record system but must not be displayed on the official student transcript.
91福利社 will not limit the total number of credits students may be awarded for CPL internal assessments.
91福利社 will charge fees to students for CPL internal college assessments through per-credit type fee structure. Tuition will be charged for credit-bearing instruction related to prior learning assessment principles, methods, and processes, such as for a portfolio development course. Fees may be charged for CPL internal assessment services, such as credit by exam or processing portfolios and documentation.
91福利社 will clearly publish and communicate all CPL internal assessment fees to students. Fees charged for CPL internal college assessments or assessment services is independent of the results of the CPL internal assessments.
A student who is awarded credits based on CPL internal college assessments and transfers to another college or university within Minnesota State must have their credits evaluated in the same manner as course credits that have been successfully completed pursuant to System Procedure 3.21.1 Transfer of Undergraduate Courses, Credit, Associate Degrees, and the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum.
91福利社 has established a process for implementation that includes, the following:
91福利社 has established an appeals process that may be used by students who are denied credit requested for CPL through the internal college assessment process.
