PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT (PLA) Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is a term used to describe the evaluation of college level learning for college credit that is gained outside a traditional academic environment. King University employs prior learning assessment aligned with institutional mission, academic integrity, and student educational attainment and success. PLA credits apply toward majors, minors, concentrations, general education requirements, and electives that count toward the degree being sought in the same manner as traditional courses. PLA credits shall not be treated differently in their application and use than their course equivalencies or appropriate block credit. PLA may be accepted up to 30 total credits of a bachelor degree. The total credits may be comprised of multiple types of PLA. Types of Prior Learning Assessment 1. Credit by Examination a. Advanced Placement—Course credit for successful completion of Advanced Placement examinations administered by the College Entrance Examination Board to high school students will be granted to students presenting Advanced Placement examination grades of four (4) or higher. A letter grade of P will be assigned for credit granted. Because no grade is assigned other than P, no Quality Points will be awarded to count toward GPA. A grade of three (3) will exempt a student from the course. b. College Level Exam Program (CLEP)— Students may earn college credit for certain examinations administered by the College Level Exam Program. To receive credit for a CLEP test, a minimum score must be earned (Contact the Registrar for information on scores required for credit for specific courses). CLEP credit will be transcribed as course-specific credit with a grade of P. Because no grade is assigned other than P, no Quality Points will be awarded to count toward GPA. CLEP credit will be identified as transfer credit from the College Level Exam Program. c. DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST)—Students may earn college credit for acceptable scores on the DANTES Subject Standardized Test based on the credit recommendations and minimum scores recommended by the American Council on Education. Students should submit an official DANTES transcript for review. A letter grade of P will be assigned for credit granted.
