Becoming a Cooperating College or University
Definition of Designation

The designation "cooperating college or university" means that the academic degree-granting institution is willing to consider using College Credit Recommendations and now College Credit Recommendations (CCR) Online as a basis for assessing requests for credit by individuals who have completed courses listed in it. It does not mean that the college automatically awards credit for all learning experiences described in that publication.

Cooperating colleges and universities (now numbering more than 1,500) are included on the list of institutions, which is posted to our website and made available to all of National PONSI's member organizations for their consideration as they advise individuals about the colleges and universities willing to consider awarding credit for their National PONSI evaluated learning experiences.  It is estimated that more than 200,000 individuals complete learning experiences recommended for college credit each year.

There is no charge to be included on the list of institutions. Please fill in and submit the form below if you wish to identify your institution to National PONSI as a cooperating college or university.  Indicate below the office and individual who should be used as the official point of contact for communication with National PONSI and as  the initial point of contact for students who wish to discuss whether credit will be granted at your institution for noncollegiate learning. A printable form is also available, which can be mailed or faxed to the Program office.
