International Credit Policy for Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)

United States and international citizens living abroad (both enrolled and visiting) will be given consideration for prior learning assessment (PLA). If English is not the official language of their country of citizenship, these students must submit a minimum score of 79 on the internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) with a minimum score of 6.5, prior to registering for PLA; have completed 24 college-level credits prior to the time of application, at least 6 credits of which are in English composition; and have a thorough understanding of the additional time and costs that may be associated with this process (postage, phone calls, etc.).
