Prior Learning Assessment CenterThe Prior Learning Assessment Center offers flexible, efficient ways to recognize the college-level knowledge you have gained through experiences outside the traditional college classroom. You have the opportunity to earn credit through several nontraditional methods and to save time and money by earning college credit for what you already know. All credits earned through the Prior Learning and Assessment Center will be posted to the student’s transcript when the official score report or evaluation and credit recommendation is received. All fees associated with these credits will be due within 30 days. If these fees are not paid within 30 days, the student’s account will be placed on financial hold, which will prevent access to grades and transcript information. Once the fees have been posted, the student’s account will be adjusted accordingly. If you have questions, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
