Standard Prior Learning Assessment

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of already-acquired college-level knowledge in a specific subject area. PLA is not independent study.

It is strongly recommended that students complete English Composition 101 and 102 before enrolling in a Prior Learning Assessment.
