Prior Learning Assessment Policy and Procedure

The purpose of this policy is to provide students the opportunity to challenge the Basic Computer Skills Assessment or a portion of the course program and/or module they want to register in.

Students and the public benefit when qualifications and credit is given toward credentials at one institution and are recognized at another institution, where appropriate. However, in some cases some institutions may offer unique learning opportunities that they wish to guarantee for their students. In such cases these institutions will not allow transfer credit from other institutions or from prior learning assessments. Q College is open to consideration to all transfer credits and transcripts from appropriate institutions.

Prior Learning is assessed at each student intake meeting.
Each student is given an opportunity to have any previous, relevant course work applied to a program of study. If a course is to be included, the student must supply course transcripts and a certificate or diploma. Transcripts will be copied and included in the student’s file record. Credit transfer is always granted solely at the discretion of Q College.
