We recognize that ongoing services and support are important factors in your decision to continue your education, and we are here for you.
You may be eligible to get credit for past military training, work experience, or other prior learning.
To get your military training assessed for possible credit that could be applied to your UNB program, the following is required:
If you request prior learning credit for training that has not been previously assessed by UNB, you will need to provide detailed information on the course and its content, as well as a learning summary specifying how this additional training fits within your program or aligns with courses at UNB.
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is applicable if the credit is acceptable within a student’s UNB program of choice. We review military training only when students apply for PLA. The amount of credit assessed may apply to several UNB programs (unless otherwise indicated). Note: Completion of JLC does not transfer to university credit.

Aside from your military training, non-formal learning can also be assessed for credits that could be put toward your UNB program. This is done through a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA).
To get an assessment of prior learning, an appropriate Faculty assessment committee will need to have the following:
It is up to you to provide detailed documentation that demonstrates your learning as it relates to the course or program under review.

As soon as you are certain that you cannot continue with your studies, please withdraw from your course. If you are registered in an open-entry online course, please submit a course withdrawal form. If you are registered in a term-based online course or attending classes on campus, you should use the WebAdvisor registration system to drop the course.
If your withdrawal occurs after the last date in the term for a withdrawal with no academic penalty, it is suggested that you contact your faculty concerning the circumstances, and include a letter from your CO. Full regulations with respect to dropping courses can be found in Section B of the Undergraduate Calendar, Part IV. D.
It is up to you to notify and to discuss the circumstances surrounding a late assignment with the instructor, in advance of the due date. The instructor can determine whether or not to accept it. Some instructors will include their policy on late assignments in their course syllabus, which you will receive within the first two weeks of the course.
You may apply for a deferred exam to be written after the exam period at a different site. Alternatively, you may wish to write the exam at the scheduled time, but at a different site. In both cases, please contact the Registrar's office. Your application should include a letter from your CO stating the circumstances.
