Presentation Abstract (250 word max.)
Colleges and universities face immense pressure to adapt and ensure equitable student success. Demographic shifts, socioeconomic disparities, and heightened stakeholder scrutiny drive institutions toward transformation. Yet, with limited resources and mounting responsibilities, restructuring policies and processes burdens professionals further. This underscores the urgent need for accessible support mechanisms.
In response, Credit for Prior Learning offers a beacon of hope. Recognizing the challenges of traditional university structures, developing a rigorous, relevant, and research based CPL policy and practice provides a way to empower institutional teams for autonomous change. This session guides project teams through each transformation phase, from research understanding to implementing strategic initiatives. Through customizable assets and user-friendly guidance, the session will ease strain on faculty, accelerate the conditions for change, and foster collective ownership for the campus community. This workshop style session will help institutions navigate educational reform confidently and help craft a more equitable, student-ready CPL Policy and Practice.
