RPL at New Brunswick Community College (NBCC)

CAPLA

Following the implementation of several strategic initiatives to improve the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) services at NBCC in recent years, we are now piloting new approaches in the field of Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) that will help facilitate access to college-level education, particularly for underrepresented groups. In this presentation, we will discuss the key changes we have made to our RPL processes and how we plan to address some of the gaps in our services through the collaboration of both NBCC’s RPL and PLAR teams. Our goal is to reduce barriers by recognizing not only formal learning but also experiential learning, core employability skills, and other diverse skill sets which many students bring to NBCC. Operating on a continuous intake basis, PLAR participants will be able to have their learning assessed and gain course credit before enrollment. This pilot project includes the implementation of online tools to be used for competency-based learning demonstrations and flexible assessment methods, which will offer more individualized opportunities for prior learning recognition.
Presenters will include RPL Coordinators Mackenzie Bartlett and Patrick Reinartz, and Learning Design Consultant Michelle Chisholm, with participation from Registrar Chris Harris, Director of Academic Planning and Evaluation Hazel Richardson and Vice President Academic and Research Ann Drennan.
