See It In Action
CPL — exactly as your staff and students experience it
From the admin dashboard to course creation to the student-facing portal — three screens that show the complete CPL lifecycle inside Campus Credit.
Agreement records, course mappings, granting and offering entities, approval history, and term-based validity — all in one structured record.
What Is CPL
One workflow. Every pathway to prior learning credit.
Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) lets students earn college credit for what they already know — through military training, industry certifications, challenge exams, work portfolios, and standardized assessments like CLEP and DSST.
Campus Credit turns that process into a single, structured workflow — policy rules and audit trails keep you aligned with state and accreditation standards, while dashboards and queues reduce faculty workload and speed degree completion.
One submission instead of multiple forms — students discover eligibility, upload evidence, and track decisions online without emailing your office
Assigned petitions appear in a structured queue with all documentation attached — evaluate using rubrics, submit decisions, and move on
Approved CPL posts directly to Banner or Colleague — no spreadsheets, no rekeying, no chasing faculty for paperwork
Policy guardrails enforce unit limits, residency requirements, and accreditation rules automatically — with a full audit trail on every decision
Key Features
Everything your CPL program needs to scale
Campus Credit gives you a complete CPL infrastructure — from the student-facing intake form through faculty evaluation, credit posting, and equity reporting.
Store all CPL options — military training, exams, industry certifications, and portfolios — with their approved credit rules in one library. Staff always work from the same source of truth.
Enforce board policy, unit limits, residency requirements, and accreditation rules automatically — with full audit logs on every decision, ready for any review or site visit.
One smart form that routes students to the right CPL pathway and collects all required evidence upfront — so your staff never receives an incomplete submission again.
Assign requests to faculty or evaluators, capture rubric scores and comments, and track every decision in a single queue — no more petitions evaluated by email and lost in an inbox.
Post awarded CPL directly to Banner or Colleague and keep status in sync — so staff don't touch spreadsheets or rekey data.
See who is using CPL, how many units are awarded, time saved toward completion, and where equity gaps remain — structured for state, Title V, and accreditation reporting.
How It Works
CPL from intake to transcript — in three stages
Every CPL request in Campus Credit follows the same structured path, so faculty know what to expect, staff always know the status, and students never have to ask where their petition stands.
Students choose their CPL pathway, upload evidence, and submit a single online request — routed automatically to the right evaluator.

SIS Integration
Works with the systems you already run
Campus Credit doesn't replace your SIS. It gives you one clean source of truth for CPL applications, approvals, and credit awards — then moves that data into Banner, Colleague, or any SIS your college already uses.
Feedback drives the roadmap
We collect structured feedback from every institution we serve and surface patterns into prioritized development cycles
One system of record for CPL workflows
Campus Credit manages approvals, status changes, and faculty decisions so your SIS only gets final, accurate data
Direct credit posting via Ethos API
Approved CPL awards sync bidirectionally with Banner or Colleague through the Ellucian Ethos integration
