过往学习评估(PLA) evaluation criteria at Concordia

大学课程模式

The PLA model in use at Concordia is the College Course Model, 这涉及到学生申请适当数量的学期学分，使用与学生已经完成的学习相匹配的大学水平课程描述，并寻求证明.

学生将他们之前获得的知识或技能等同于美国地区(机构)认可的学院或大学的特定学院课程的学习成果和课程描述.

课程描述, to which students compare their learning, used in the Prior Learning Assessment process

• 必须是来自美国地区认可的学院和大学的大学水平课程.S.;
• should be in semester rather than quarter hours, or need to be transferred into semester hours;
• may not overlap with the academic content of other courses or experiences accepted in transfer, or credits for courses already taken or required to be completed within the Concordia degree. 这不适用于尚未完成但专业要求的课程，当申请是为了满足专业要求时;
• for a major or the physical development core requirement, the course description used should be the required Concordia course, 或者必须经专业主管部门和课程主管部门认可为相当于必修课程;
• are limited to five credits, regardless of what a course description states. The maximum number of semester credit hours which may be awarded for a given course is five (5). This means that if the course description used is for eight (8) credits, only five (5) credits may be sought and granted through this process. The student may, however, petition for fewer credits than any course description states.

先前的学习背景

编写请愿书所依据的先前学习经验可能包括通过经验获得的知识, seminars and workshops through employment, through supervised volunteer experiences in a non-profit organization, or learning completed at non-accredited institutions which did not transfer.

作为学习支持的经验必须在中学学习经验的背景之外, whether curricular or co-curricular

如果学生提交的申请与部分在非认可机构的课程中获得的学习有关, the student may submit a transcript from that institution as one form of documentation, but the student must demonstrate application of that learning in further contexts, 并且必须提供有资格评估该学习的人的来信作为第二种形式的证据(参见提交证明先前学习的材料)。

学习的数量和水平

The learning used for the PLA process must be college level.  学生必须能够证明其大学水平的学习与所修学分相适应, using the Concordia Credit Hour Policy formula of at minimum 42 hours of learning per credit. 例如, 一个想要在PLA中获得三个学分的学生需要完成126到144个小时的学习, including application of the learning. 

Materials to submit to demonstrate prior learning

For each petition for credit, the student must provide all of the following:

• A petition form showing the number of credits sought, the dates during which the learning occurred, 课程名称和编号，包括大学或学院以及所使用课程描述的目录年份
• A list of learning outcomes they write, 称为陈述学习成果, that describe their college-level learning as it relates to the course description being used;
• A copy of the course description to which they are comparing learning, which shows the institution and the catalog year
• A narrative description of the learning and the context in which it occurred
• Two evidentiary documents that support the learning, one must be a letter from an individual who was in a position to evaluate their work
• A review fee of $80 per credit, which is not refundable if the credit is not awarded.
