Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)
LTS offers graduate-level programming. But not all people have completed undergraduate studies. Thus, LTS has developed a PLAR process for those who do not have completed university undergraduate degrees. If you are interested in studying at LTS, but do not have a Bachelor’s degree from a university, there are alternatives. To explore whether you qualify for the PLAR process, and for more information about this alternative, please visit our Programs page to learn more about PLAR. Then, if you qualify for this process, please fill in the PLAR application form before you fill in the application form for the degree program for which you would like to apply.
