Forms
This packet should be used as a guide to track a student’s progress toward award completion using both current and potential PLA and transfer credits. It should also be used as a way to confirm that the student will have successfully completed at least 25% of their intended award via credit-baring courses at Collin College.
When officially submitting the Petition for PLA Credit, the completed PLA Planning Packet must also be submitted with it.
This form is the formal submission to confirm that the student is ready to have departmental
PLA credit applied. General instructions can be found on pg. 1-2 to help guide you
through the process. Once the form is complete, e-mail the PLA Planning Packet, the Petition for PLA Credit form, any supporting documentation, and any Cashier’s Office receipt(s) to degreeplans@collin.edu for processing.
Verification Pages (for Banner & Cougar Compass only)
The following PDFs provide guidance on how to verify if prior PLA and/or transfer work has been evaluated and applied to the student's degree audit. Collin College is not permitted to grant an award if the student has not successfully completed at least 25% of their award via credit-baring courses at Collin College, so verifying this information is an important step in the petition process.
