Students come to college from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, some of which may involve college-level learning. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is the evaluation of a student’s learning gained through work experience, industry certification, and other special training. At IU Fort Wayne, several programs award CPL.
Some programs will award credit for certifications you have received through local or national organizations.
Credit-by-exam is a process that allows you to take a proficiency exam to earn credit for one or more courses based on your knowledge of the material. The testing center maintains details on the CLEP and DSST exams. The admissions office maintains details on AP and IB exams.
Active-duty and veterans can receive college credit for military service and save time and money at the same time. A Joint Services Transcript (JST) should be submitted with the application materials for consideration. For more information on transfer credits for military service, review .
IU Fort Wayne defines transfer credit as any credit awarded for college-level coursework completed outside of the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø University system. This includes dual enrollment coursework you might have completed during high school. .
