About Online and Distance Education at TRU-OL
Traditionally, distance education has allowed students to access post-secondary education from wherever they are on their own schedule. At TRU, Open Learning, we make education more flexible by allowing you to enrol in a course or program whenever you like, so there is no need to wait for a particular semester to register. TRU-OL also has few barriers to entry, so in most cases, students planning to take courses and transfer the credits to another institution can register without submitting transcripts. You may also apply past credits towards many of TRU’s certificate, diploma and degree programs.

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition
In addition, we offer students the opportunity to receive credits towards a program through PLAR, or Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition. This program is in place to recognize the experience and skills you have gathered from previous education, or life and work experience.
