Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) allows you to demonstrate the university-level knowledge that you have gained informally through work or life experiences. By preparing a detailed portfolio or e-portfolio for assessment, you may receive up to a maximum amount of credit within your AU program.
You will be asked to submit your PLAR application and PLAR fee after you have been assigned to a mentor.
Contact the Centre for Learning Accreditation for information or visit the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition website.
Information effective Sept. 1, 2019 to Aug. 31, 2020.
