Credit for Prior Learning Campus Roadshow

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) Campus Roadshows are a series of free professional development and networking opportunities for those who work in CPL at Minnesota State. They're co-hosted by individual campuses, C-PLAN, system-level Academic and Student Affairs, and system-level Strategic Partnerships. The roadshows provide a CPL foundation to faculty, staff, and administrators.

The next CPL Campus Roadshow takes place at Metro State's Saint Paul campus on Friday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Morning beverages and an afternoon lunch are provided. RSVP today. Contact so-cpl@minnstate.edu with questions, for accessibility requests, or to discuss your dietary needs.

The goals of the CPL Regional Campus Roadshows are to:

• Bring together campuses to share information on external 3rd party evaluated credit for prior learning crosswalks, pathways, and best and effective practices when working with students in undergraduate and graduate programs.
• Expand current crosswalks to include course equivalencies for military courses and occupations, industry certifications, and workforce and community-based training.
• Collaborate across colleges and universities to facilitate transparency, consistency, and ease of transfer of CPL equivalencies.

Who should attend?

• Faculty (undergraduate and graduate) from the following disciplines: Administrative Office Professional, Applied Leadership, Business, Communications, Early Childhood Development, Health Office Administration, Human Resources, Human Services, Leadership, Management, Sociology, Supervision, General Education, Law Enforcement Leadership, Management. We continue to expand disciplines as campuses let us know what they want to focus on.
