Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)
Kwantlen recognizes that students may attain significant learning at a post-secondary level through work, training, and informal experiences outside the formal post-secondary system or from institutions with whom Kwantlen does not have course transfer and articulation agreements. Through Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), Kwantlen will grant credit toward a certificate, diploma, or degree for this learning if it fulfills the requirements of the program to which the student has applied.
