Credit for Prior Learning

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is no longer available for courses in the Bachelor of Applied Arts: Early Childhood Education program.


Advanced Standing

Learners may receive advanced standing for up to 75% of the content of the program to which they have been admitted on the basis of successful completion of this content in the same or similar programs at another college and as assessed by the college.

Applicants who wish to be considered for advanced standing should submit an application with the following documents:

  1. Proof of program completion;
  2. Official transcript(s);
  3. Calendar description of the courses claimed for credit.

Learners seeking advanced standing will not be excused from any course(s) until written authority has been received from the Office of the Registrar.


Exemption Status

Exemption status is granted if the course has a minimum of 70% equivalency in the course material required. When exemption status is awarded, no mark is reported on the transcript. The college will consider exemptions for courses if the learner received a passing grade in the course.

The college will accept any course from a recognized post-secondary institution as an exemption if the course can match 70% of the objectives listed in the current course outline.
