11.3 Additional Information and PLAR Policies
Grade Requirements
- Policy A124. Recognition of Prior Learning[PDF] guides the PLAR process at Fanshawe.
- Transcripts of credits earned through PLAR will normally reflect a grade achieved in the same manner as credits are normally transcribed. In some cases, a successful PLAR credit will receive a grade of “P” (pass). Unsuccessful attempts will not be reflected on the transcript.
- The grade you achieve in the PLAR assessment is the grade that will appear on your transcript once you are enrolled in a course or program at Fanshawe College.
- The minimum grade required for a successful PLAR attempt will be the same as the minimum passing grade of that specific course.
- To be eligible to graduate from a Fanshawe program, learners must meet residency requirements in accordance with Fanshawe Policy A122[PDF] and achieve a cumulative 2.0/60% GPA over all courses (unless otherwise stated).
Completing the PLAR Guide
- The PLAR advisor will give instructions to complete the PLAR Guide and may connect with the PSW Placement and PSW Program Co-ordinator for further instructions regarding the PLAR.
- Once the student has completed the PLAR guide requirements, they will send the work to advising@fanshawec.ca and the PSW Placement and PSW Program Co-ordinator.
- The Program & Placement Co-ordinator will review the PLAR submission, and a PLAR Advisor will process the grade.
