Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)

Students may also request credits based on learning acquired through:

• work
• volunteering
• other life experiences

Learning may be assessed through the submission of an academic portfolio and/or challenge processes such as:

• tests
• demonstrations
• interviews

A fee is charged for each course challenged.

A maximum of 75 per cent of the requirements for a Humber credential may be achieved through the PLAR process.

A learner must earn a minimum of 25 per cent of the required credits through regular study at Humber.
