Testing & Portfolio Credit

Given our reputation as a transfer-friendly college, we know that learning doesn’t always take place in the classroom, so we offer college credit for what you know as demonstrated through proficiency exams and experience-based portfolios.

Proficiency Exams

Earn college credit with proficiency examinations, such as CLEP, DSST, Excelsior, and others. We use the American Council on Education (ACE) minimum standards in determining college-level comparability for these exams.

FUPE

Get awarded academic credit through FUPE (Franklin University Proficiency Exams). Our faculty-created, course-specific FUPEs let you demonstrate classroom-equivalent learning based on your experience, training or independent reading. Our academic advisors are available to help you determine which coursework might be a FUPE alternative to the classroom.

Learning Portfolios

Demonstrate your knowledge in one or more courses, and get college credit for it at Franklin. Create a prior learning portfolio, explaining what you know relative to course outcomes and how you learned it. Then submit it for assessment by a faculty evaluator.
