4. Michael Pullin to spoke on CUNY’s push to allow for credit for prior learning. This would be accomplished in numerus ways including standardized exams, evaluating course work, evaluation certificates awarded, etc. It was mentioned this would be a good way to get continuing education students a jumpstart towards a degree if they were awarded credit for prior learning through their program. Continuing education is going through this process.
