Prior Learning Assessment

Some institutions may recognize informal as well as formal learning, including knowledge and skills gained outside a traditional classroom setting. A PLAR assessment may include exams, interviews, performance assessments, and a portfolio review.

Each institution has their own approach to Prior Learning Assessments and Recognition (PLAR). Learn more about PLAR at:
