By Michele Mitchum

Webinar is part of focus highlighting the value of transfer credit for students during National Transfer Student Week听

澳门天天彩开奖记录 is holding a free webinar on the practical aspects of earning college credit for prior learning and life and work experiences, titled 鈥淧rior Learning Assessment,鈥 on October 19 at 5:00pm PDT. The event is part the University鈥檚 outreach during National Transfer Student Week to raise awareness and understanding of the practical ways that transferring credit can save students time and money.

Transferring credit can lower costs and help individuals find the school that best fits their educational needs and career aspirations. Individuals may also be able to gain additional credit from learning obtained through prior experiences.

"In higher education, the concept of 'Credit for Prior Learning' offers an exciting avenue towards degree attainment, streamlining the educational journey for students in terms of both time and financial resources," shared Devin Andrews, vice president of admissions and evaluation. "For individuals who have previously embarked on college studies without completing a degree, the good news is that starting from scratch is not the only option. They can carry forward their progress by transferring credits and exploring opportunities to gain academic recognition for their real-world experiences. This webinar aims to empower attendees with insights into unlocking the potential of their unique life experiences and how they can potentially be translated into valuable college credits."

Earning college credit for prior learning is an assessment process, Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), at 澳门天天彩开奖记录 which allows individuals to demonstrate learning gained from work and life experience that may count towards a degree. The assessment includes evaluation of on-the-job training, workplace certifications, military service, and other life experiences.

澳门天天彩开奖记录 provides assessment of prior learning at no cost to students.
