Prior Learning Assessment Process
Galveston College supports the concept that learning can and does occur outside the traditional
college classroom. In today’s world, many students acquire substantial education through
experience, continuing education, military experiences, and other non-traditional avenues of
learning. The Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is a process for assessing learning gained
outside a traditional academic environment. The following guidelines pertain to all awarded
credit regardless of the PLA process used (credit by exam, experience, CE, etc.)
• A maximum of 24 semester hours of credit may be earned by PLA and applied towards
the degree.
• A student must have enrolled and completed at least 6 semester hours of non-
developmental courses at GC before the PLA credit will be posted to their permanent
record.
• Students may not establish credit by examination for any course which has been
previously attempted at Galveston College or another college. A class will be considered
attempted once the class has met census date and therefore the class is on the student’s
official transcript.
• Credit established through any PLA process becomes part of the student’s record.
• Students who are awarded credit by any PLA process will receive a grade of a “CR” on
their transcript.
o The semester credit hours will apply toward graduation requirements, but are not
calculated in the grade point average.
Credit for Continuing Education Courses
Galveston College may award college credit for continuing education courses only when there is
documentation that the continuing education coursework is equivalent to a designated credit
course. Awarding credit for continuing education courses work involves at least three
considerations:
• The educational quality of the course for which the student desires credit.
• The comparability of the nature and content of the continuing education course with the
curriculum course for which credit is desired.
• Demonstration of competencies/learning outcomes by the student, either as part of the
course or subsequent to it.
Continuing education coursework that was completed over two years ago will be awarded for
credit only if all the required documentation is available. The College is not required to keep
detailed class records beyond two years. Students wishing to receive credit for continuing
education courses are encouraged to complete the paperwork as soon as possible following the
completion of the class.
2 Updated 4/7/17
