Credit for Prior Learning Overview The University at Buffalo (UB) recognizes and values the acquisition of undergraduate-level knowledge through a variety of experiences and provides Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) from four main categories: Course credit from other accredited institutions (see Transfer Credit Policies ) Standardized Published Exam credit, where the test is administered externally by a national organization. UB challenge examinations Other forms of credit, such as military credit and industry certifications, that undergo review and are recognized by The American Council on Education (ACE) and the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS). Students may request credit for prior learning that demonstrates mastery of knowledge, skills, and competencies aligned with the learning outcomes of the respective course or requirement for which they are seeking credit. Credit for Prior Learning may be awarded elective credit or credit toward specific degree requirements, including major and general education, when articulated to a specific UB course or requirement as determined by UB faculty. Credit for Prior Learning does not apply towards UB’s residency requirement. Course articulation is when external Credit for Prior Learning is formally reviewed and approved by faculty for course equivalency at UB. UB articulation rules resulting from previously requested Credit for Prior Learning are available on the TAURUS website . Through this website, students may also request review of prior learning that has not yet been evaluated. Credit will not be awarded for any Standard Published Exam or content that duplicates the content of a college course for which a student has already received credit or if a student has completed more advanced study, i.e. beyond the level covered by an exam. Students may use the Credit Declination/Recovery Form (PDF) at any time to decline exam or military credit that has been awarded by UB, or to recover previously declined alternative exam credit if that credit can be utilized to fulfill a degree requirement. When exam credit is not declined and the exam or its articulated course content is subsequently repeated, credit will only be awarded for the second taking. Evaluation of credit earned through Standard Published Exams and other forms of credit recognized by ACE and NCCRS are based on articulated course and requirement equivalencies in effect at the time the credit is requested. Standardized Published Exams UB grants credit for the following Standardized Published Exams, in accordance with the articulations indicated in the relevant Exam Articulation Table : Advanced Level Program (ALP) Advanced Placement (AP) College Level Examination Program (CLEP) DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) General Certificate of Education (GCE A-Level) Global Assessment Certificate (GAC) International Baccalaureate To request articulation of

Other forms of Credit for Prior Learning UB also grants credit for prior learning for military credit and several American Council of Education (ACE)/National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) approved agencies, as described below. Credit for such programs can be considered for college credit only when the program has been recognized and evaluated for credit by ACE or NCCRS. College Credit Recommendation Services (CREDIT) Credit may be awarded for certain non-collegiate training programs usually offered in agencies, professional associations, and public and private corporations.

Excelsior College Excelsior (formerly Regents) College offers college-level proficiency examinations that may be considered for elective or articulated college credit. Articulations for these exams can be found on the TAURUS website , by using the “Search Equivalencies by School” function, and search “Excelsior”. Military Credit Credit may be awarded for basic training and for certain approved educational experiences in the armed forces. Students wishing to have credit evaluated should make a request via the TAURUS website .

Eligibility Criteria Junior or senior standing and acceptance into an academic major or approved special major; A minimum GPA of 3.000 overall, including transfer credit and completion of prerequisites required for the graduate course; and Written recommendation from the course instructor that clearly states the academic necessity and rationale for taking the course, and the endorsement of the department chair.

Transcripts for courses taken through cross registration are automatically forwarded to UB and applied to the student’s permanent academic record as transfer credit. For the WNY Consortium, only full-time students registered for at least 12 credit hours at UB are eligible to take an additional course at a participating institution, and only one course may be taken via cross-registration.

Course articulation is when external credit-bearing courses are formally reviewed and approved by faculty for course equivalency at UB. Once a course has been reviewed and determined to meet the same or similar learning outcomes as a UB course, the Office of the Registrar will create a course articulation, which can be viewed on the TAURUS website . Courses that have not yet been reviewed by UB faculty to make a course equivalency determination will be listed on the UB student record as generic credit (TR 999TR), which will be applied as general elective credit. To submit an appeal: Complete the UB Transfer Credit Appeal Form . Include catalog descriptions for the UB course and all courses listed as prerequisites to the course. The office will provide a final UB response in the form of a SUNY Transfer Credits Campus Response Form by email within 10 business days, or, when the university is not officially in session, 15 business days, excluding official New York State holidays.
