Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)

You may receive academic credit for education earned through earlier schooling, work experience, experiential learning, or other non-traditional means. It must be comparable to courses offered at RRCC and related to your current degree or certificate program. Methods available for obtaining PLA credits are the following:

  • Certificates (earned through academic, vocational and/or professional programs).
  • Portfolio (documentation of past experiences and/or learning).
  • Institutional Challenge Examination.

Course credit is granted once reviewed and appropriate documentation, approval, and payments are received.
