Credit Predictor Pro is a tool that matches adult learners’ prior learning experiences with college credit. As a faculty member, you play a crucial role in reviewing and approving these matches.
1.Account Verification and Password Creation
Once the Credit Predictor Pro School Admin has created your account, you will receive an email guiding you to verify your account and set your password. Follow the instructions in the email to complete this process.
Once you have received the verification email (pictured below), you will create a password for your account. Passwords must include:
- Eight or more characters
- At least one number
- Upper & lowercase letters
- At least one special character
2. Logging In
Faculty Reviewers will receive email messages when an Advisor has assigned a CPL (Credit for Prior Learning) Match to them for review. Upon receiving an email notification, click the “VIEW CPL MATCH” link in the email. You will be taken to the login screen of the Credit Predictor Pro, and upon login, you will be brought to the Faculty Reviewer Dashboard.

3. Reviewing CPL Matches
As a Faculty Reviewer, you will only see the section of the student’s profile that is related to the CPL Match the Advisor has assigned to you. Review the CPL Match and determine its creditworthiness.
Faculty may need to review the following:
- A certification, exam, or military transcript
- Skills from a student’s resume
- Details a student has included about their informal learning or experiential learning
- Details a student has included about their language fluency
4. Awarding Credit (Successful CPL Match)
If you are awarding credit/course equivalency for a CPL Match (i.e., for this certification, the student should be awarded credit for IT 100) follow these steps:
- Leave an Internal Note for the Advisor explaining what credit should be awarded (i.e., award the student IT 100 for this certification). You may also want to share why the credit was awarded and/or if in the future other students can also be awarded credit for this. Internal
Notes are NOT shared with students, only with advisors working with the student.
- Click “Mark as Completed” in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. This will notify the Advisor that you have completed reviewing the CPL Match.
5. Leaving Internal Notes
If you need further information to make a credit determination, you can leave an Internal Note for the Advisor. The Advisor will see that you have left an Internal Note on their CPL Match Dashboard. Internal Notes are NOT shared with students, only with advisors.
6. Communicating with Students
If you cannot make a credit determination without more information from the student, you may contact them through the Credit Predictor Pro. To reach out to a student via the Credit Predictor Pro, follow these steps:
- On the CPL Details Page, click “Message Student.”
- Enter the body of the message, including any attachments necessary.
- Click “Submit”.
Once you message a student, the status of the CPL Match becomes “Waiting.” The student will be notified via email to log into the Credit Predictor Pro and read your message. Once the student replies, the CPL Match status will change to “In Progress,” and you will receive an email to log in and review their reply.
