As part of our admissions process, prospective students are required to complete an application detailing their educational and life experiences and provide three references. Applicants seeking admission through the PLAR process must submit their applications by March 31, 2025, to allow sufficient time for PLAR evaluation by April 30, 2025.

A Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the process used by our college to evaluate and recognize an individual’s knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired through formal and informal learning experiences, such as work experience, training, independent study, volunteer activities, and other life experiences. This evaluation helps determine if the individual’s prior learning is equivalent to the academic requirements for OPC College, which is a bachelor’s degree.
