Request for prior-learning recognition
The University of Ottawa recognizes that learning can occur not only by taking university courses (or their equivalent), but also through professional experience, self-teaching, non-credited courses, workplace training and other situations. Prior learning recognition (PLR) makes it possible for students who have acquired knowledge in a non-traditional manner to receive advanced standing for a course with a specific course code offered at the University, or in certain cases, to be granted an exemption. To request PLR, complete the Request for Prior-Learning Recognition form (PDF, 235KB) and submit it with all the required documents to the academic secretariat of your faculty or school during your first term at the University of Ottawa.
Administrative fees apply for the request for prior-learning recognition.
