PEL is only available for degree students, not certificate students. Students will be required to submit a portfolio to be reviewed by one of our subject matter experts (SME) to be granted PEL credit. The portfolio will contain information and documentation sources (evidence of experience) to demonstrate the learning achieved. PEL credit can be granted for Core, General Education, Major, or Elective courses. PEL credit is awarded on the student’s transcript and will count towards degree completion. A non-refundable fee is required for each portfolio assessment. But by utilizing PEL credit, a student may be able to complete their degree program faster and save on total tuition fees to graduate.
