What is the PLAR Challenge Process?
- The PLAR Challenge Process is a process whereby active TDSB secondary or Continuing Education students may obtain credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma for knowledge and skills that they have acquired outside of the classroom.
- Students may “challenge” and earn a maximum of four credits for prior learning, including a maximum of two credits in any one discipline.
- Students' prior learning is assessed and evaluated to determine whether they have met the provincial curriculum expectations in a specific course.
