ULM is excited to offer a number of Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) options. You may choose to test out of a particular course by taking a nationally standardized exam such as CLEP or DSST. Specific courses also offer challenge or skills exams as an option to taking the course. Portfolio assessments may also be an option for you.
The answer to this question depends on a few factors. Whether or not you will be required to take a placement exam test will be determined upon review of your previous educational history.
There are some courses offered online that are open to all students enrolled at ULM, but others are reserved for those students who are seeking their degree solely online. This is to ensure that all students seeking a degree offered online are able to take the courses that they need to complete their degree program.
