Prior Learning Assessment
The Office for Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) at the University of Southern Maine believes students should be rewarded for knowledge achieved outside the traditional classroom if it fulfills the academic criteria set forth by USM faculty. PLA has developed systematic ways to assess the wealth of college-level learning that you, as an adult or an advanced student, bring to the university. We invite you to convert your prior college-level knowledge to possible college credit.
