The Dean will forward the documentation to a subject-matter expert advisor within the appropriate department to identify the prior experiences that are eligible for CPL. Any CPL awarded will apply to general electives, related studies, and by exception with the appropriate Department Head’s written approval may apply to the general education requirements. For additional information on procedures, fees, and courses exempted by examination, consult the Office of the Registrar.2026-2027catalog.shawu.edu
Credit for Special Educational Experiencetransfer_creditCredit for Prior Learning Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is awarded for prior non-academic credentials, knowledge, skills, and competencies that students have obtained as a result of prior learning experiences. Shaw University students who, through individual study or experience, have gained equivalent knowledge of the content and outcomes of undergraduate courses offered by the University may be eligible for CPL. Prior learning experiences, when properly documented by the student seeking CPL, may be evaluated for consideration by the appropriate Shaw University academic unit. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) provides the opportunity for a student to earn academic course credit by credential or by examination at Shaw University for off-campus college level learning as follows: Credit by Credentials: A classroom and/or formal on-the-job training program sponsored by a business, industry, agency, the military, an educational institution, association or organization Training demonstrated by the award of a license or certificate issued by a State or Federal regulatory agency or recognized professional association. Credit for Prior Learning will not be given if credit has already been granted through other courses, whether through transfer, examination credit (including CLEP) or some other method.

Department Examination:prior_learningApplications must be approved by the Department Head, with final approval by the Dean, before taking the credit by exam. Credit by Examination is authorized in all areas, but it is the prerogative of the department faculty to exclude specific courses that are demonstrably unsuited for credit by examination. Any course that a student has previously taken or is currently enrolled in cannot be taken by Credit by Examination. Credits earned through Credit by Examination are not used in the computation of a student’s grade point average (GPA), which means that final grades may be “S” or “U.” No more than 6 credit hours of departmental examinations will normally be accepted.2026-2027catalog.shawu.edu

Credits are processed and entered on the student’s transcript showing course names, descriptive titles, and credit hours per course. Grades are not transferable and are not recorded or computed in the student’s grade point average (GPA). Shaw University is a member of a six member Cooperating Raleigh Colleges (CRC) consortium. This membership also includes Meredith College, William Peace University, Saint Augustine’s University, Wake Technical Community College and North Carolina State University, through which the use of their respective facilities is coordinated. Each semester, students in approved programs leading to degrees in any one of these institutions have the opportunity to select and register for courses from the combined courses offered at CRC schools, provided the course is not offered at their home institution. This privilege is subject to the regulations of the school in which the student is currently enrolled.

Transcripts received after mid semester of the first semester of enrollment may not be processed in time for advanced standing for financial aid purposes.
