Adult Credit ARE YOU MISSING CREDITS TO COMPLETE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA? What is PLAR for Mature Students? Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the formal evaluation and credit – granting process whereby adult learners may obtain credits for prior learning. Prior learning includes the knowledge and skills that learners have acquired, in both formal and informal ways, outside secondary school. Learners may have their knowledge and skills evaluated against the expectations outlined in provincial curriculum documents in order to earn credits towards the secondary school diploma. PLAR for Mature Students focuses on what adults/learners know and can do. A learner could be granted up to 26 of the 30 credits needed for an OSSD through the PLAR for Mature Students process. The last 4 grade 11 or 12 credits cannot be granted. They must be earned through formal education. At Brian J. Fleming Catholic Adult Learning Centre and St. Gabriel Adult learning Centre, these credits can be earned through eLearning, day programs, night school or summer school. You qualify for Maturity credits: Learning and Experience outside the classroom IF YOU… • Are 18 years of age or older, have less than 26 credits and have been out of Secondary School for at least one year. Following Ministry of Education policy, we can acknowledge that while you have been out of school, you may have gained knowledge or skills from the workplace, life experiences or other training and may be eligible for additional credit.
