PLA Costs and Fees

 

  • There is a $50 non-refundable application fee to request admittance to the Prior Learning Assessment Course. This course is offered every term based on the current academic calendar. See "PLA Process" section in this handbook for application deadlines.
     
  • The PLA Course tuition and fees are assessed per the student's academic program tuition schedule for up to 8-semester credits per term. Successful applicants will be advised to enroll for 4-semester credits or 8-semester credits in a single semester based on the number of PLA credits they are seeking. Students must enroll for 8-semester credits if they are seeking 19 or more PLA credits in a single semester. No more than 36 PLA credits may be attempted per semester. The highlighted credit amounts do not include the credits earned for being enrolled in the PLA course. 
     
  • Evaluator fees must be paid by the announced deadlines (see "PLA Process") in addition to the application fee and the tuition for the PLA course. These fees differ depending on the type of portfolio to be evaluated:

Conversion Portfolio Evaluation fee: $0

 

Life Experience Portfolio Evaluation fee: $75 per chapter IF evaluated by an outside evaluator. There is not additional evaluator fee for Prescott College faculty evaluation. Talk to the instructor before paying an evaluator fee to see if it is needed.

 

Students are responsible for full payment of all tuition and fees by the stated deadlines as a prerequisite to having their portfolios reviewed by evaluators. The application fee and the evaluator fee are not payable through Financial Aid. These fees must be paid through the Business Office online. Please refer to the attachment for payment instructions.
