Prior Learning Assessment

Prior Learning Assessment of experiential learning allows accepted students to seek credit by documenting real-world performance, 在课堂之外获得的大学水平的知识和基于结果的能力. 预先学习评估(PLA)研讨会每月定期通过Zoom进行.

Prior learning credits, if awarded, 可以申请学士学位内的学术专业或必修选修课程吗. The “physical development” requirement within Concordia’s elective core may also be met through the prior learning credit pathway. A maximum of 21 prior learning credits can be awarded and these credits may not be included within the thirty-six residency credits which must be completed at Concordia University in order to be awarded a bachelor’s degree.

All official transcripts for any credits to be transferred to Concordia should be on file prior to submitting a Prior Learning Assessment portfolio to avoid duplication of credits. 先前的学习评估作品集提交也不能重复在康考迪亚完成的任何课程. 先前学习评估委员会每月检讨提交的资料. 请愿书应仅提交所需学分的数量. 学校将通过电子邮件通知学生委员会的决定. 在某些情况下,被拒绝的学分可以重新提交复议. 如果先前学习评估委员会要求对提交的提案进行修订, there is no new fee assessed.

A per credit evaluation fee ($80) is charged for Prior Learning Assessment portfolio submissions and is due at the time of submission. This evaluation fee is not returned if credits are not awarded. 这笔费用在大学财政援助程序中也不符合条件. 通过先前学习评估获得的学分极不可能被转移到另一所学校.
