Currently, the university system cannot award credit for life experience or training that has not been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) and given recommendations for college level academic credits. In order for an accredited institution of higher learning to evaluate life experience that has no ACE recommendations, it must have a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process in place. The university is in the process of developing a PLA process to create a structured format for awarding credit for prior life and work experience that has not been evaluated by ACE. When a PLA process has been developed and approved, a formal announcement will be made to our student body.
