• Prior Learning Assessment

  Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is a process that allows students to demonstrate prior learning to possibly receive credit towards a post-secondary course. Enrolled students will be given every opportunity to receive credit for past learning experience through a comprehensive systematic process of evaluation referred to as Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition. Students must initiate PLAR requests within one (1) week of the semester start date.

Once you are a CNA student you can register for your classes through MyCNA . Registration is the process of choosing and enrolling in courses as well as dropping courses or making other changes.  It all starts with you knowing your registration deadlines.
