RPL Policy

CoROM Recognition of Past Learning

 

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a generic term for the process by which Higher Education institutions recognise and, where appropriate, award credit for learning that has taken place before entry into a programme of study.
Through RPL, the College considers the range of prior educational experiences of the diverse student body and encourages more comprehensive access to its programmes of study.
This policy describes how prior learning can be recognised to allow exemption from specific modules found in our undergraduate programme or to allow direct entry into the second year of a three-year undergraduate programme. The prior learning must be at the same MQF level as the College programme for which the student is applying/undertaking.
