Prior Learning Assessment

The NLC’s offers students the opportunity to earn up to 30 credits through a portfolio development process called Prior Learning Assessment (PLA). 
 
The PLA Workshop is a noncredit, online seminar, designed to help students develop the PLA portfolio that can be assessed for credit. Students who enter a degree program with fewer than 90 transfer credits, are eligible to participate in PLA portfolio development.  Likewise, prospective degree students with fewer than 56 credits may take part in the program to earn credits necessary for admission.
