Prior Learning Assessment
PLA 3001: Portfolio Development for Prior Learning Assessment
Prerequisite: Completion of 60 hours of credit, which includes all general education
requirements, and 12 hours of coursework after being admitted to Arkansas Tech University.
The basis for requesting credit for prior learning is the development of a portfolio
with assistance from a faculty advisor. Every student requesting credit for prior
learning must enroll in this course and complete a portfolio which demonstrates the
college-level learning that has resulted from experiences outside a formal academic
framework. The student utilizes this method to document knowledge acquired which is
equivalent to upper-division college-level credit.
Note: Grading is on a Pass/Fail basis.
