Credit for Prior Learning

University College-Newark accepts up to 45 credits for prior learning. To earn such credit, a student must demonstrate college-level knowledge comparable to that required in a Rutgers course.

There are three methods whereby the student may obtain credit for prior learning.

1.  College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Credit may be granted for the two types of CLEP tests-the CLEP General Examination and the CLEP Subject Examination.

2.  Thomas Edison College Examination Program (TECEP) standardized tests.

3.  Portfolio assessment, which is administered through Thomas Edison State College.

For more specific information about credit for prior learning and for information on fees, eligibility, and the level of achievement required, students should consult the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, 312 Hill Hall.
