Direct recognition of prior learning is not possible at the Open UAS. Instead, studies are recognised using pedagogic solutions, in which case the student demonstrates his or her competence in the manner specified by the lecturer. The RPL process is identical with the degree students. More information is given by the lecturer of the course in question or your Student Advisor.
RPL process does not entitle to a refund of fees.
If you are retaking an exam or wish to improve your grade, please register for the exam. You can find the instructions for retaking exams on the OMA intranet. Please contact the course lecturer for more information.
