Prior learning credits...

[cookderosa]

Is there a particular school that is easier to work with regarding getting APL credit?

You can search for it here- there was someone a while back (sorry I can't recall his screen name) who tested out/PLA of many music credits at his community college. (which were transcripted, and then forwarded to his college). Search under: guitar

I don't think I'd use the word "easy" or any of its forms relating to PLAs. In my opinion, if the college offers a class, your chance of doing a successful PLA is like getting snow in Texas....It "could" happen... You can bet that the teaching faculty will absolutely be a part of the decision process, and this decreases your likelihood to nearly nil (again, in my opinion).

I think (like Linda said above) that the best chance of a PLA is to find an obscure subject offered by another college and PLA using that description.
After taking all that into account, you could be spending a lot of time and money for nothing. Make sure the credit will be liberal arts - not career credit/applied/technology/occupational. (which is available for FREE through FEMA) I had 63 credits that I could have tried to PLA. Sounds great- until you do the math.
#1. They all would have been ultimately classified as applied science credit (free elective)
#2. BA degrees have caps on free elective credit, mine was 27.
#3. FEMA offers 27 credits for free, yet 27 PLA credits would cost $4300 to attempt.
Hummmm. Easy decision.

If you think you have liberal arts credit (math, science, humanities, social science) at or above the 100 level, that isn't available through CLEP/DSST, and isn't taught as a class at your local college where you are attempting to PLA, where you can put in 10-20 hours of portfolio preparation time, you have the resources to track down written proof and verification of every single objective in the course model that you claim to have already met, and you are willing to pay full price tuition up front with the full understanding that they could say "no" anyway....then you have full disclosure and you should go forward.
