Standards for Awarding CPL Credit

Academic credit will only be awarded for those courses directly applicable to curriculum requirements at FRCC and to the student’s declared certificate or degree program listed in the college’s catalog.
A student may not apply for CPL credit for a course in which they are currently enrolled.
All work assessed for CPL must meet or exceed "C" level work. Minimum cut-off scores on standardized tests are also established to meet the "C" grade level. A student must take the course if they do not meet the minimum cut-off score.
A student may use CPL to fulfill all degree/certificate graduation requirements except for the mandatory 25% residency requirement. The only exception is credit for Institutional Challenge Examinations, which can be applied to the mandatory 25% residency requirement.
If pursuing a transfer degree (A.A., A.S., or A.G.S - articulated degree program), CPL will be granted for the purpose of satisfying graduation requirements. Because credits may not transfer to all colleges, contact your transferring college to determine their CPL requirements.
