Students who have previously completed noncredit coursework may have opportunities to earn college credit through Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). Students are encouraged to meet with a Shasta College counselor to discuss their educational goals and explore potential options.
How to Request Credit for Noncredit Coursework
To request Credit for Prior Learning based on previously completed noncredit coursework at Shasta College, please follow these steps:
- If it has been more than two semesters since you took a course at Shasta College, re-apply to the college.
- Meet with your Counselor to discuss your completed noncredit coursework, how the credit version of the course aligns with your educational/career goals, and the potential impact CPL credit may have on your academic or transfer goals.
- Complete the Credit for Prior Learning Petition after meeting with your Counselor.
- If your noncredit grade was a Pass/No Pass, but the credit version of the course must have a letter grade, you will be assigned the actual grade you earned in the noncredit version of the class (A, B, C, D or F).
- You will be notified that your petition has been processed via your Shasta College email. Once the course is posted to your Shasta College transcript, it will have a notation that the credit version was received through Credit for Prior Learning, per local and state policy.
Please Note
If Shasta College awards Credit for Prior Learning coursework and units, they will be used to fulfill your Shasta College graduation requirements. This coursework and associated units will be added to your Shasta College transcript. Financial Aid cannot be used to pay for units earned through CPL.
If you plan to transfer to another institution, please be aware that every college/university has their own policies regarding Credit for Prior Learning. What was accepted at Shasta College may not be accepted at another institution.
