Credit for Prior Learning/Advanced Standing Guide


Virginia Peninsula Community College is committed to lifelong learning that provides students with opportunities to receive credit for prior learning while still maintaining the academic integrity of academic programs. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) policies are consistent with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) principles and with Virginia Community College System (VCCS) policy. 

The information provided describes the mechanisms for obtaining credit for prior learning at Virginia Peninsula Community College. The term “credit for prior learning” generally refers to the process of granting college credit for learning gained in nontraditional ways. Credit for Prior Learning is the process of awarding credit for competency in subject matter that has been achieved through previous academic study, experiential learning or occupational experience.

Credit awarded may include, but is not limited to, credit for external advanced placement such as the Advanced Placement Program (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and International Baccalaureate (IB), credit for non-traditional professional certifications, and credit for educational/training programs (military, industry, state, and federal government). This guide also provides procedures for granting various kinds of credit earned at other colleges and universities in this country and abroad.
