Prior learning assessment and recognition

VCC recognizes Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) as one of multiple pathways for students to complete their individual course of study. As per provincial and institutional practice, students can PLAR up to 30.0 credits. Please note: PLAR is distinguished from transfer credit and flexible admission.

The BHM Executive Cohort Department, in collaboration with the VCC Office of the Registrar, may grant credit for learning acquired through experience and/or non-formal education and training. BHM Executive Cohort students who request PLAR must:

  1. Receive an 80% pass on a standardized test in the subject matter; OR
  2. Submit a project based on pre-determined criteria; OR
  3. Present a portfolio reflecting sufficient knowledge of course content learning outcomes of the PLAR requested course.

Methods 2 & 3 include a presentation before a BHM Executive Cohort faculty assessment panel, inclusive of the Department Head and the PLAR requested course instructor, as well as an addition subject matter expert. The Department Head, in collaboration with the PLAR requested course instructor, will determine the manner of assessment.

 If PLAR is successful, student transcripts will reflect a grade of “S” (satisfactorily completed). “S”   grades are not included in GPA calculations.

   PLAR fees for every course apply without exception.
