transfer_credit	Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) The CPL policy is particularly directed toward non-traditional students with several years of profes- sional experience in their chosen field who aspire to complete the BSBA at Nichols. Each submitted portfolio will be reviewed by the CPL Coordinator in alignment with the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), who established the model used in colleges nationwide as well as a set of best practices, policies, and procedures for Prior Learning Assessment (PLA). The Coordinator, after completing requisite workshops, will be a certified Prior Learning Assessor and earn a Certificate of Mastery in PLA. CPL credits can only be earned for college-level learning that occurred outside of traditional college class- rooms and will be posted as transfer credits. However, any CPL earned at other institutions may not be transferred to Nichols without completion of the portfolio course.	2026-2027	www.nichols.edu

Transfer credits must be submitted and approved by the Registrar prior to the start of a students first course within the Graduate School and may only be applied to degree-granting programs only. Transfer credits will not be accepted or applied toward graduate certificate or other non- degree programs.	2026-2027	www.nichols.edu

The maximum allowable transfer credit hours for a graduate program at Nichols Col- lege is nine (9) graduate-level semester credit hours. The capstone course is ineligible for transfer credit and must be taken at Nichols College.	2026-2027	www.nichols.edu
