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.

  • 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

Faculty Filter

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

Using Credit Predictor Pro as an Advisor

Credit Predictor Pro is a tool that matches adult learners’ prior learning experiences with college credit. As an advisor, you play a crucial role in creating and managing these matches. This article offers a step-by-step guide on how to use the Credit Predictor Pro platform

1. Understanding Your Role

As an advisor, you can create and edit CPL (Credit for Prior Learning) Matches for students. If you are a Lead Advisor, you have additional privileges such as viewing all student profiles, assigning students to a new advisor, and maintaining Course Crosswalks and the Course Database.

2. Advisor Access and Login 

Once an account has been created, advisors receive an email from the tool guiding you to verify your account and set your password (pictured below). Your School Admin will provide you with a link to log in to the Advisor Dashboard.

advisor-verify email

Once you have received the verification email (pictured above), you will create a password for your Advisor account.

Passwords must include:

    • Eight or more characters
    • At least one number
    • Upper & lowercase letters
    • At least one special character

3. Logging in to the Credit Predictor Pro

The School Admin, Advisors, and Faculty Reviewers login to the tool with the following link:

Credit Predictor Login

4. Assigning Students to Advisors

If you are assigning students, you should log in to the tool to see if there are students with submitted profiles who need advisor assignments.

 4a. Assigning or Changing a Student’s Advisor

As Lead Advisor, you can view all students in the tool- those assigned to you, given to other advisors, or those students without an advisor assigned.

      1. Select Lead Advisor Tasks.
      2. Pick All Students. There you will see all students in all statuses (Open, Completed, Closed, Not Submitted).
      1. Click the three dots next to the student you want to assign (or change) the advisor to.
      2. Choose Change Advisor.
      3. Select the Advisor. You can pick yourself.

5. Assigning a CPL Match to a Faculty Reviewer

If you determine that a Faculty Reviewer should review a CPL Match, you can assign the CPL Match to a Faculty Reviewer. Usually, you will contact a Faculty Reviewer because you think a student may be able to earn college credit for something in their CPL Profile. The Reviewer may make a credit recommendation based on what the student has submitted as part of their CPL Profile, but they may make a different recommendation. The Reviewer may ask the student for more information. The Reviewer may say the student should attempt a Challenge Exam or complete a portfolio. 

      1. View the CPL Match Detail Page.
      2. Click Assign Reviewer in the upper right-hand corner.
      3. In the pop-up box, select the Reviewer to whom the CPL Match should be sent. If you do not see the Reviewer you need, talk to your School Admin about adding a new Reviewer.
      4. Enter the due date by which the Reviewer should complete their evaluation.
      5. The Description is a very important field. Both the student and the Reviewer will see the content of the Description field. In the Description, specifically ask the Reviewer if the student should be able to earn credit for this item of their Profile, whether the student should instead submit additional work or complete a departmental exam, and if the student can earn credit, what course the student should earn credit for.
      6. Once you assign the CPL Match to the Reviewer, the status of the CPL Match will change to In Progress, Assigned Reviewer.

6. Understanding CPL Match Statuses

  While you can use the Students Page to see students in various statuses, the CPL Match Page is where you may be spending most of your time. Just like the Students Page, CPL Matches are organized into their own statuses:

      2. Click the three dots on the upper right-hand side of the screen.
      3. Press Change Status.
      4. Select Completed (if the student successfully completed at least one CPL Match) or Closed (if the student had no successful matches or no CPL Matches at all).
