Prior Learning Assessment

On this page:

Prior Learning Assessment Policy

The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Faculty Senate adopted a in August 2015 that recognizes that students may acquire knowledge equivalent to that obtained through completion of courses through their professional experience or other methods of instruction.Ìý

Prior knowledge may be demonstrated in three ways:

  1. Faculty-administered exams
  2. Faculty-administered portfolios
  3. External, nationally recognized exams

Discuss these options with your advisor.

Application Completion

To complete your PLA application process please choose one of the followingÌý

  • Option 1 (Preferred): We recommend having your PLA form completed via DocuSign. Please work with your department administering the PLA to initiate the DocuSignÌýPLA form.
  • Option 2:ÌýIf the department is unfamiliar with the DocuSign they can contact the registrar's office or use the DocuSign link or PDF form below.

Faculty-Administered Exams and Portfolios

The other two PLA options are:

  1. examinations administered internally by ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ faculty and
  2. portfolio assessment administered by ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ faculty.

Either of these options is initiated by completing theÌýÌýPrior Learning Assessment (PLA)Ìýform (PDF). The cost for the options is a non-refundable fee of $150. These items must be submitted prior to taking the exam or submitting the portfolio. The PLA must be completed in the same semester in which the fee and PLA form are submitted. Students are able to submit PLA up to two times. There is a $75, non-refundable fee for submitting the second PLA for the same course. Ìý

Below is the list of PLA options at ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´. The tables are organized by college. Students must demonstrate mastery of the learning outcomes for the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ course listed by either exam or portfolio. The contact person, campus address, and campus telephone number are listed for each course. The tables (DOCX) below displaying ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´Ìýcourses that are eligible for prior learning assessment may beÌýdownloaded. The tables will be updated annually in July. Changes may occur during the academic year.
