AACRAO recently initiated a series of surveys designed to capture member institutional practice snapshots in 60 seconds or less. These surveys are very brief and distributed to all AACRAO members via email. The December 2014 the AACRAO 60 Second Survey asked respondents to indicate their institutions’ credit for prior learning practices (CPL). This survey was intended to capture the CPL practices most often associated with mature learners and as such, Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate credit were excluded from the survey question set intentionally because they represent pre-college credit typically earned by high school students. 

Unless otherwise noted in a specific report, the AACRAO member institution size, type and control categories are based on the following definitions and sources: 
The enrollment value used to delineate the institution's size category is defined as full-time enrollment plus 1/3 of part-time enrollment and is based on the enrollment reported by the institution to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). 
Institution type and control values are also defined by and verified through NCES criteria.
