Recognition of Prior Learning
at the Faculty of Higher Education, Lilydale

Students furthering their studies through higher education often bring with them a range of learning experiences acquired beyond the realm of formal studies. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is about assessing informal learning. On the basis of this assessment, students may receive credit for course entry and/or outcomes requirements and in so doing, reduce the amount of time required to complete their degree.
