Educational Advising
Are you interested in taking a single course through Open Learning?
Are you currently an Open Learning program student?
Are you wondering if your previous courses or programs will transfer to a TRU-OL program?
Can your work experience count as prior learning (PLAR) toward a TRU-OL program?
No matter where you are on your educational journey, we are here to support you!
I am currently completing a TRU-OL program
Once you have applied and been accepted into a program, your Program Advisor will assist you from your application to your graduation – from app to cap! Once you have been admitted to your program, your advisors will review your transfer credits, assist you with planning your program and understanding your program requirements, review your course selection, approve your Letter of Permission requests, help you to navigate TRU support services when necessary, and finally, complete your final graduation audit.
I am interested in taking a TRU-OL program
We are very excited that you are interested in a program and encourage you to review the TRU-OL programs.
