- Any PLA credit you receive must fit your degree requirements.
- No more than half of the total number of credit hours required for graduation can be awarded through prior learning assessment.
- If you intend to pursue a graduate degree, please check with the appropriate institution regarding its policies on the transfer of prior learning assessment credit.
- Duplication of credit is not permitted. Be certain your prior learning is not duplicated by any course credit you have already received or coursework you may elect to take in the future.
- Credits earned through PLA neither fulfill nor interrupt the residency requirements.
- Only matriculated students seeking a degree or pursuing a certificate at the College of Mount St. Joseph are eligible to apply for a possible award of prior learning assessment credit.
- Credits cannot be counted toward the 45 semester hours of coursework needed for graduation with honors (See college catalog for information).
