George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.

Course/Credit Challenge
If a course covers material you already know, you can ask for an assessment of your knowledge - or Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR). This is called a “challenge.”
For example, if you have done a lot of computer work, you might challenge a computer course. To assess your learning, you may be:
- tested with written or oral exams, interviews, or case studies
- assessed through a portfolio of your work that shows your skills
For specific details on who is eligible and how to apply for a PLAR course assessment, please visit our Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) webpage.
