Frequently asked questions
The UNE Badging program is a non-credit bearing vehicle that digitally validates and documents knowledge, skill sets, qualifications, and competencies.
Faculty and professional staff may wish to develop a badge when they identify a coherent set of integrated competencies that is not currently captured or easily demonstrated through a traditional academic transcript, CV, or resume. Development will occur with the assistance of the Badging Committee.
Our badge program is open to all learners. Any participant who completes the learning activities and demonstrates achievement of the learning outcomes/competencies for a badge would be able to claim it. Some badges are geared more toward UNE community members, but others are open to all. For more details and contact information about each badge visit the UNE Credly page. There may be additional fees for non-community learners.
This number is constantly changing. New badges are added throughout the year. See the UNE Credly page for a list and description of current badges.
In some instances, a past learner may have met the necessary criteria for earning a badge. Developers of the badge (or their designee) would need to approve achievement of the related learning outcomes/competencies submission of necessary evidence. See the contact information within each badge description on the UNE Credly page to inquire about specific details.
No, the badge program at UNE is voluntary, learners elect to earn badges.
