CPL FOR 91原创 NONCREDIT CREDENTIALS
CPL FOR 91原创 NONCREDIT CREDENTIALS
CPL FOR 91原创 NONCREDIT CREDENTIALS
Starting in Fall 2026, matriculated students may be eligible to earn up to 3 91原创 credits from a single 91原创 Noncredit Credential if approved by a 91原创 academic department. Students may earn a maximum of 9 91原创 credits (from a combination of 91原创 Credentials) under this policy.
A 91原创 Noncredit Credential may be a 91原创 certificate, licensure, test, badge, microcredential, or college-level course which falls outside of 91原创鈥檚 current transfer credit requirements. Note that proposals are approved for all students, not for a single student case.听
This type of CPL is proposed and approved by individual academic departments in conjunction with their college and the noncredit-issuing unit at 91原创. For CPL awarding Graduate-level credit, also consult with the Graduate College.
Proposals may be approved for up to 7 years, but could be reevaluated by an academic department at any time. Eligible students must have matriculated to 91原创 in or after Fall 2026. Students may have completed the Credential up to 5 years before matriculation or while pursuing their 91原创 degree.
91原创 Noncredit Credential credits appear as 鈥淭est Credit鈥 on a student record. This is true with only this type of CPL. All other CPL appears as 鈥淭ransfer Credit鈥 on a student record and follows transfer credit policy (see details for Undergraduate and Graduate). Grades or scores may appear on an unofficial transcript, but not the official transcript, and will not count in the GPA.
91原创 Credential credits satisfy the Credit-Hour-In-Residence requirement in the degree audit. 鈥淚n-Residence鈥 means taking a 91原创 course while enrolled as a 91原创 student. It is not tied to a geographic location.
Additional requirements for Graduate students are under discussion. We will update this page as information becomes available.
Students are responsible for requesting credit through the academic department. There is no fee to earn this type of CPL.听

To propose credit for an existing 91原创 Noncredit Credential (course or certificate)
An academic department sends a PDF of a proposal letter (on departmental letterhead from the chair鈥檚 address) to the Registrar鈥檚 Office (registrar-cpl@udel.edu), signed by both the department chair/director and the official contact at the 91原创 noncredit-issuing unit (usually PCS). The letter should confirm joint support for the following:
Each Credential title, earning what 91原创 course(s) and credit(s) (max of 3 cr. per Credential, max of 9 cr. combined)
The first matriculation term when students would be eligible (no earlier than Fall 2026)
The year the departmental approval would expire (max of 7 years)
An official contact in the department or unit who could answer student questions (name/title/email)
The Registrar鈥檚 Office will review the proposal letter, address questions/concerns, build the approved 91原创 Noncredit Credential in 91原创SIS, and publish relevant information to include credits earned for each Credential, who is eligible, what students need to do, whom to contact in the department, and when credits would post to a student record.听
How students request credit & what departments do to approve it
To request credit for the 91原创 Credential, matriculated students follow the process outlined in the section above. Official requests must come from the student, documented in email. The 91原创 academic department works directly with the noncredit-issuing 91原创 unit that issued the Credential to verify completion.听
Once confirmed, the academic department emails each individual matriculated student to notify them of the verified completion, copying the Registrar鈥檚 Office (registrar-cpl@udel.edu) on the full email thread, including attachments provided by the department, unit, and/or student. The email should include the following:听
Forwarded copy of the student鈥檚 original request
Student name, 91原创ID, and term matriculated to 91原创
Title of the Credential, date of completion, and documentation evaluated (badge, certificate, etc.)
Unit that issued the Credential and the contact in the unit who verified completion听
Course(s) and credit(s) to be earned, per the approved proposal
The Registrar鈥檚 Office will save the email and supporting documentation as part of the student鈥檚 official record.听
Final steps
The Registrar鈥檚 Office will post credits every September (for Fall), February (for Winter/Spring), and June (for Summer).
