A student registered on, or applying for, a taught Programme leading to an Award of City who has:

• 
  pursued appropriate studies at this or another institution, or
  
• 
  who possesses appropriate qualifications or experience
  

may be considered for Award of credit from the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) or the Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) where this is permitted by a Programme and specific details are included in the Programme specification. This means that they may be exempted from some of the learning for the certificate, diploma or degree where it is agreed it can be demonstrated through the RPL and/or RPEL process.

The assessment of RPL and/or RPEL claims is separate and distinct from the Admissions process.
An application or claim for RPL and/or RPEL must be submitted prior to the start of the relevant Module.
