Individual reviewDocumentation mattersNo automatic transfer

How prior learning is assessed

Prior learning can include previous higher education, professional training or relevant experience. Whether it can be considered depends on the program, the evidence available and the decision made by the academic or admissions team.

Documents may be requested

Applicants may be asked for transcripts, certificates, course outlines, employment evidence or other records that help the team understand the prior learning being presented.

  • Use documents that identify the learner and issuing organization.
  • Provide translations or verification when requested.
  • Do not send original documents unless the receiving team specifically asks for them.

What to expect

A prior qualification or work history does not automatically guarantee transfer credit, admission, a shorter completion time or a lower tuition amount. Any decision should be confirmed in writing before payment.

Ask before you apply

If your eligibility depends on previous study or professional experience, contact ACLAS with the program you want to enter and a short description of the evidence you can provide.

Campus services Program and admissions information is available here. To apply, manage your account, make a payment, access private student records or download documents, use the ACLAS campus at aclas.college.

Questions

Common questions

Does ACLAS automatically transfer credits from another school?

No automatic transfer should be assumed. Prior study and other learning are reviewed according to the program, documentation and decision made by ACLAS.

Can professional experience reduce the time to completion?

Professional experience may be reviewed, but it does not guarantee admission, transfer credit or a shorter completion time. Ask for a written decision before payment.

What should I send for a prior learning review?

Start with the program you want to enter and a concise description of your prior study or experience. ACLAS may then request transcripts, certificates, course outlines or employment evidence.
