City, University of London Senate Regulation 19 Assessment Regulations 2018/19

Recognition of Prior Learning

• 
  Credit may be awarded for RPL for Prior Certificated Learning (including professional development Awards or employment Awards) gained from study at Level 4 or above at City or another institution which has previously been assessed and/or awarded credit.
  

• 
  Grades or marks may not be awarded through RPL
  

• 
  RPL encompasses Programmes which permit direct entry to a particular progression point within the Programme, if detailed in the Programme specification.
  

• 
  A student may apply for RPL for a Module or Module(s) studied at City on a stand-alone basis such as continuing professional development (CPD) (i.e. not as part of a Programme) providing the application is considered no more than five years of completion of the Module. Where this is permitted:
  

• 
  it will be detailed in the Programme Specification, and
  
• 
  it may be necessary for the student to rescind a certificate (relating to CPD for example) for the previous learning to avoid double counting of credit already awarded.
