Students who have already obtained their PMP certification may be eligible for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR). This process evaluates individual backgrounds, prior experiences and qualifications to determine if they meet academic credit standards. However, eligibility for PLAR cannot be guaranteed as it depends on the University’s decision and a personalized assessment of your education, work experience and others. We recommend consulting the MyUCW Student Portal for more information about the PLAR process.
