Credits and technical and professional training (T/PT) from an institution without regional accreditation are referred to as credit for prior learning (CPL).

Immaculata may accept CPL credits in the following categories:

1. Tested CPL - including CLEP (College-Level Examination Program), ACT-Pep, and Credit by Examination. A transcripting fee will be charged.
2. T/PT reviewed by academic bodies - ACE (American Council on Education) and PONSI (Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction) credit recommendations are accepted as T/PT transfer credits. A transcripting fee will be charged.
3. T/PT needing faculty review - Technical and professional training programs which have not been reviewed by ACE or PONSI require faculty review. Students complete the Technical and Professional Training Worksheet and provide all required documentation. A fee will be charged.

The number of CPL credits that Immaculata accepts from the various categories is limited. The total number of CPL credits transferable toward a baccalaureate degree may not exceed 63 credit hours. Students are advised to discuss CPL credit options with a faculty adviser or program director prior to initiating the process.
