CPL MAP Initiative

Mission of the MAP Initiative


The mission of the MAP Initiative is to maximize credit for prior learning (CPL) for working adults, apprentices, and veterans and students in the California Community College system and beyond. We are now available to all 116 California Community Colleges, a community of colleges committed to awarding up to a year of college credit in recognition of the mastery acquired through prior learning, training, and experience.

The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office has enlisted the Mapping Articulated Pathways (MAP) Initiative to spearhead an ambitious effort to expand Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) opportunities across the state
