Turn Your Experience Into College Credit!
Orange Coast College’s Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) lets you earn college credit for skills and knowledge you’ve gained outside the classroom. This could come from things like military service, job experience, volunteering, or other real-world learning. You can show what you know through approved options such as standardized tests, military training, industry certifications, portfolios, or credit-by-exam. CPL helps you save time and money by giving you credit for what you already know, so you can reach your educational goals faster.
Meet with a counselor to see how CPL might benefit you and to get more information on how you can start the process.
