Prior Learning Assessment Option (PLA):

Prior Learning Assessment is a method used by many colleges and universities to award college credit for what individuals learn outside of a classroom, through work or life experience. Through this process LIM College faculty will evaluate FLEX student portfolios and may recommend credit. Credit for life experience may be given when it is determined to be similar in content, depth, and breadth to the college-level learning that would be achieved through taking the specified course.

For those with five or more years of full-time work experience, the PLA process may be an option. A maximum of 36 credits hours of LIM College credit may be earned for documented learning through PLA.

Our FLEXible approach to completing your bachelor’s degree allows you to:

• Transfer of up to 65 completed college credit hours from an accredited institution
• The possibility of earning up to 36 hours of LIM College credit for documented learning through prior learning and work experience
• Completing the remaining courses required for your degree through a combination of:
-online courses
