91做厙’s Office of Liberal Education offers the opportunity for Student Veterans to complete a Prior Learning Assessment Portfolio toward waiving specific 91做厙 Plan requirements.
If you were deployed overseas and believe that your time abroad contributed to a deepening of your understanding of your own culture as well as the cultures of people with whom you interacted, you may qualify for the portfolio option. So too, if you underwent extensive training or spent extended time in a new culture, you may qualify.
Even if you did not serve abroad, if you were involved in humanitarian or community service in the United States, you may be able to petition for successful completion of the 91做厙 Plan Experiential Learning requirement.
Waiver Equivalencies
Global Inquiry (3 – 6 hours)
Intercultural Consciousness (3 hours)
Experiential Learning
Definition
As an , “Portfolios are both a product—an archive of learning artifacts—and a process that supports student learning. Building an ePortfolio leads students to naturally make valuable connections between various courses, assignments, and cocurricular activities through reflection of their past work.” Through the Portfolio Option, Student Veterans translate learning experiences while deployed into educational outcomes to be assessed for prior learning credit.
Process
Contact the Office of Liberal Education (miamiplan@91做厙OH.edu) and Interim Director of the Office of Liberal Education, Dr. Elizabeth Hoover (hooverea@91做厙OH.edu) prior to beginning the portfolio. At this meeting, working together, we will discuss what parts of the prior learning experience are relevant to the related 91做厙 Plan course outcomes.
You will then begin to provide examples and evidence of prior learning in the portfolio and explore the depth and breadth of learning required for the 91做厙 Plan requirements you are seeking to waive.
The Office of Liberal Education will evaluate your portfolio to determine if it meets the required accepted standards and determine its 91做厙 Plan equivalency or equivalencies.
