Certificate Evaluation

CUNY colleges can award CPL credit for licenses, certifications, and training that have been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) or by the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS). Decisions about whether to award credit and the appropriate equivalency are at the discretion of faculty in the relevant academic department. Colleges may also conduct their own Professional Learning Evaluations (PLEs) of trainings and credentials that have not been evaluated by ACE or NCCRS.

Each academic department within York College will assign a course title, number, and credit amount (as stated in the bulletin) to the certificate, licenses, etc. for the Certificate Evaluation. The student will receive the neutral grade of CR (credit) when awarded the credit for the course, and will appear on their transcript as such. Conventional letter grades shall not be used.

This evaluation process and policy is set to engage faculty and administrators in the clarification of credit equivalencies as they relate to the specific curriculum set by York College, as well as the student’s selected program of study, while ensuring transparency and equity for students.

Evaluation of the following certificates is being offered for credit:
