Petitioning for PLA Credit

Forms

PLA Planning Packet

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.
