Your knowledge and experience may earn you college credit! Take the survey to find out. It will take less than 15 minutes.
Our assessments are formally created by faculty or the department and are available in our online learning platform, D2L Brightspace. Assessments take a combination of skills approach. Students may be asked to test, demonstrate, and/or write to show their learning is college level and is equivalent to the course they are assessing. Students will also be asked to provide pieces of evidence for their learning.
The cost of assessment is about $110 per credit. Inver Hills has been offering Prior Learning Assessments (PLA) opportunities for over 20 years.
