If you are a student enrolled at University of Phoenix, prior learning assessment is a process that may save you time and money in completing your degree program.
Prior learning assessment determines if learning received outside of the traditional university classroom is equivalent to academic curriculum and eligible for college credit. Prior learning assessment applies only to associate's or bachelor's degree programs. Any credit awarded is limited to elective or general education requirements.
More information on prior learning assessment is available on eCampus, the student website.
