Help Increase Awareness of Credit for Prior Learning

February 10, 2025 / Our Nighthawks

We need your help to spread the word about Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) opportunities at NOVA! Many students may not be aware that they can earn college credit for their prior learning experiences, including standardized exams, industry certifications, military training and work experience.

Attached is a CPL flyer, which we encourage you to post in your offices, on bulletin boards, and at information desks. If possible, please also include it in department newsletters or share it with students who may benefit.

Your support in promoting CPL can make a significant impact by helping students save time and money on their educational journey. If you have any questions or need additional materials, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your help in increasing awareness of this valuable opportunity!
