RDP makes changes to prior learning and transfer credit process

Red Deer Polytechnic has retransformed its prior learning and transfer credit process.

On Tuesday, the institution introduced a new model that they say will make it easier for students to receive credit for the education and experience they already have when entering diploma and degree programs.

RDP reports that the new model will automatically recognize all credits and courses achieved from any Alberta public funded postsecondary institution for transfer into any RDP program.

In addition, RDP will publish a Transfer Articulation Catalogue for out-of-province learners. They will also offer a free prior learning assessment and recognition for credit learners from any publicly funded postsecondary institution in Canada as of July 1, 2026.
