Credit Predictor Pro

The Challenge: How do I Streamline and Grow my PLA/CPL Program?

CAEL’s Credit Predictor Pro allows institutions and state systems to streamline and monitor the entire prior learning assessment/credit for prior learning (PLA/CPL) lifecycle, providing insights into advisor interactions with students, faculty credential approval, and what types of credit recommendations your students are receiving.

How It Works

The Credit Predictor Pro guides students through the process of documenting their work and learning experiences prior to -- or in between -- their college years. Once students have completed their PLA/CPL profile, the Credit Predictor Pro automatically recommends appropriate PLA/CPL options based on your institution’s PLA/CPL policies and offerings. Advisors also review manual student inputs and recommend CPL matches.

How the Credit Predictor Pro Can Help You Build Your PLA/CPL Program

Mobile Responsive Interface

Students complete a comprehensive questionnaire about their experiential learning complete with documentation uploads. PLA/CPL staff or advisors make CPL recommendations in the tool, automatically notifying the student of next steps.

Dynamic PLA/CPL Reporting

Administrators can see PLA/CPL data from across the entire institution -- or school system -- via dashboard capabilities. Additionally, institutions can pull data from the Credit Predictor Pro via API, automatically loading successful PLA/CPL student data into their CRM or SIS.

Streamline Credential Approval

New credential workflow allows staff to seamlessly route student-submitted credentials directly to faculty members for their review, reducing the burden of work usually handled manually. Each institution will create workflows based on organizational structure.

Recruit Adult Students

Credit Predictor Standard is a lead generation tool included with the Pro version, allowing institutions to capture appropriate adult student leads. Attract students by letting them know they don’t have to complete courses in subjects where they’ve already attained proficiency.
