Accelerated Options
Eastern Oregon University recognizes that people pursuing distance education degrees often have
extensive learning from prior jobs, educational programs, travel, and other life experiences. EOU
provides multiple educational options in which this learning can be documented for academic credit,
enabling students to apply their prior learning directly to their degrees.Accelerated Credit Options
Transfer Credit
The primary way to apply prior learning is through Course Credit Transfer. The content of transferred
courses may or may not fulfill the needs of particular EOU programs, but if analogous coursework is
offered at EOU, credit earned at other accredited institutions of higher learning will very likely transfer to
EOU. Students may work with their academic advisors to determine potential additional credit matches
APEL– Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning
Students with extensive life experience paralleling subject areas offered through EOU may enroll in APEL
390 – Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning – APEL. APEL is a rigorous course in which the student,
working with the instructor and other faculty, bridges personal experience with the theoretical and
practical applications demanded by EOU programs by building a Learning Essay Packet. APEL culminates
in the development of one or more essay packets that are evaluated by EOU faculty for academic credit;
students may earn up to 45 credits with the APEL process. Note: APEL credits may not always be
transferable to other institutions. Bonus: students pay reduced tuition per credit for APEL essay credits
that are approved by faculty.
ASL– Agency Sponsored Learning
EOU may also grant credit for Agency Sponsored Learning (ASL) education and training provided by
professional organizations. Students may receive credit for courses and training taken from non-degree
granting organization such as military, corporation, labor unions, professional and voluntary associations,
and government agencies. The subject area must be within a discipline offered at EOU, and the
course/training must have taken place within required clock hours. You must provide documentation

other than military. A maximum of 45 ASL credits can be used toward a degree at EOU.
CLEP– College Level Examination Program
The CLEP program provides the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through exams in undergraduate college courses. There are 2,900 colleges that grant credit and/or advanced standing for CLEP. The exams are computer-based exams that permit immediate scoring.*
ACE– American Council on Education
Students entering Eastern Oregon University may have college credit awarded for educational experience obtained in the military. Credit will be evaluated and based on the recommendation of the American Council on Education.
