Non-Regionally Accredited Courses

Courses completed at a non-regionally accredited institution or online platform go through Credit for Prior Learning for a credit evaluation.

Follow these Steps

  1. Review your Program Requirements and identify which CCRI course you believe is a match for your prior coursework.

  2. Send your official transcript from the other institution/organization to CCRI. Note: Credly is now used for ACE Working transcripts. Credly transcripts can be sent (via the Credly portal) directly to Prior Learning Coordinator, Nicole Sheldon at njsheldon@ccri.edu.

  3. Send an email to Prior Learning Coordinator, Nicole Sheldon with the following information:

    • Your full name, DOB or CCRI ID Number, and the name of your CCRI program

    • The name of the CCRI course you believe is an equivalent for your prior coursework

    • Your prior course’s syllabus (if available)

    • Clarify whether your transcript has been submitted via Credly or if it was sent directly to CCRI Records

Next Steps

Coursework information will be submitted by the Prior Learning Coordinator to the corresponding Academic Department for credit evaluation. Academic Departments may approve or deny credit. If a credit award is recommended by the Academic Department, the Prior Learning Coordinator will generate a Credit Award Form and send it electronically to the student for their e-signature before the credit is added to the student’s CCRI Academic Transcript.

At CCRI, we recognize that college-level learning can occur in a variety of settings outside of the traditional educational environment. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) pathways are opportunities for students to provide evidence of their college-level learning for college credit.
