The list of courses eligible for Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is subject to change without notice. While a course may be available for PLA today, it may not be available in the future. Students must be prescreened and preapproved for eligibility and are encouraged to begin the PLA process early to secure access to their intended course.

Once it has been determined which course(s) students can assess, they must pay an assessment fee to be collected by the College cashier. The non-refundable Prior Learning Assessment fee is $30 per credit hour (See Policy 6Hx2-6.13).

To be granted credit, the student must receive satisfactory scores (e.g. regular standards for a passing grade) on all tests required for assessment for a course for which credit is requested.

Articulation credits will appear on the student's transcript as "CR." Letter grades are not awarded for articulation. Credits earned through articulation satisfy graduation requirements but may not be accepted as transfer credits at other institutions.

Students planning to transfer to other institutions should contact the college or university of choice to determine if articulation credits are accepted. 25% of credits required for a degree must be earned by taking classes at 黑料门大事记 to satisfy residency requirements for graduation.
