Experiential Learning Portfolio

Colorado Technical University recognizes that knowledge gained outside of a classroom may be relevant to your degree program. Learning experiences obtained through employment, non-collegiate, school-based education or other appropriate channels may be evaluated for course credit if it is in adherence to American Council of Education (ACE) recommendations.

To be considered for this credit, your prior experience or education must:

• Relate specifically to an 联系, 本科’s or 主's degree course in your academic program.
• Result in experientially attained 和 mastered college-level competencies that are appropriately documented 和 equivalent to the course outcomes that would be acquired in the comparable CTU course.
• Demonstrate 和 verify learning through documentation such as work samples 和/or supervisory verification.

MAKE YOUR EXPERIENCE COUNT WITH AN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PORTFOLIO

An experiential learning portfolio (ELP) is an electronic portfolio that relates specifically to a course in your academic program. It demonstrates 和 verifies learning through documentation. If your ELP demonstrates that your work experience meets the objectives of a course(s), you may be able to bypass that course(s).

The maximum amount of life experience credit accepted toward graduation is 16 quarter credit hours for an 联系 degree, 32 quarter credit hours for a 本科’s degree 和 8 quarter credit hours for a 主’s degree or Doctoral Degree. The Registrar Evaluation Services Department will provide support 和 guidance to help position your portfolio in the best manner possible.
