You will need to provide your name, UMID, and signature attesting that all materials submitted are genuine and legitimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Step 2: Meet with the CPL Coordinator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schedule a meeting with the CPL Coordinator to discuss your certification(s) and potential alignment with academic courses offered at the University of Michigan-Flint. If there is no course for which the certificate(s) align, specify the discipline that should evaluate the professional certification(s) for which you seek academic credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Step 3: Compile Required Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gather the following documentation for each certification you are submitting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Description of the certificate, including the professional organization granting it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Curriculum or stated learning outcomes of the certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Documentation of the examination process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of successful certificate completion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once compiled, submit all materials to the CPL Coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Download Application Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1ans8SvEJNuulOpbz9eIJjnXMIYqDGNm1\/view\">Application for Credit for Prior Learning (Professional Certification)<\/a> to begin your CPL application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Application Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the application form, you will need to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Personal Information:<\/strong>\u00a0Your printed name (last and first) and UMID number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Student Signature:<\/strong>\u00a0Your signature and date, attesting that all materials submitted are genuine and legitimate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professional Certifications:<\/strong>\u00a0A list of up to five certifications you are submitting for review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Course Equivalencies:<\/strong>\u00a0The course title(s) you believe represent equivalencies to your certification(s)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Review and Evaluation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have submitted your documentation, the CPL Coordinator will work with Deans, Directors, and Chairs to forward your materials to the relevant disciplinary faculty for review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPL Coordinator\u2019s signature on your application does not signify approval of credit. It only documents the CPL Coordinator\u2019s permission to apply for CPL Assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">If Your Application Is Not Approved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should the evaluation be negative or partially negative, students have the right to ask for clarification on the faculty assessment and be given the opportunity to address any questions emerging from the review process. Note that a complete submission should not require additional information from the student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important Deadline:<\/strong>&nbsp;CPL Applications and Approvals must be submitted by the 10th day of each Part of Term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about Credit for Prior Learning through Professional Certification and Licensure, please contact the CPL Coordinator at <a href=\"mailto:rcbarnes@umich.edu\">rcbarnes@umich.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students with professional certifications and licenses may be eligible to receive academic credit through the Credit for Prior Learning program.
