A microcredential is a cluster of learning experiences that focus on developing a particular set of skills and include some element of application. Microcredentials provide formal recognition of completion of these experiences and generate a badge. 91Ó°ÊÓ-issued microcredentials adhere to SUNY Microcredential Definition and Terms. Through established governance processes, 91Ó°ÊÓ approved integrative curricular microcredentials (ICMs) in spring 2020 and has been offering them on an ongoing basis since. ICMs have a curricular foundation (6-12 credits of coursework) and require completion of an applied learning experience with a self-reflective component. ICMs generate a transcript notation and a badge; other types of microcredentials do not generate a transcript notation. At 91Ó°ÊÓ, Credly badges for microcredentials will be designed to easily distinguish them from other types of badges.
