    major, general education and electives.

7
Standard 6 - PLA Program Quality Assurance
  • If awards are for credit, transcript entries
    should clearly describe what learning is being
    recognized and be monitored to avoid giving
    credit twice for the same learning.

8

    assessment, including provisions for appeal,
    should be fully disclosed and prominently
    available to all parties involved in the
    assessment process.

  • Fees charged for assessment should be based on
    the services performed in the process and not
    determined by the amount of credit awarded.

Standard 9 - PLA Program Quality Assurance
  • All personnel involved in the assessment of
    learning should pursue and receive adequate
    training and continuing professional development
    for the functions they perform.

Standard 10 - PLA Program Quality Assurance
  • PLA programs should be regularly monitored,
    reviewed, evaluated, and revised as needed to
    reflect changes in

  • the purpose being met, and
  • in the state of the assessment arts.
