Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education to create standards for evaluating and awarding academic credit for skills and knowledge gained outside of traditional college coursework – often referred to as ‘prior learning.’ The standards will outline how institutions can assess things like Advanced Placement exams, workforce training, and industry credentials, and how much credit can be given. It also establishes procedures for appealing credit decisions and requires annual reporting on the program’s impact on student success.
