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.
