--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Registrar & Accreditation Liaison (speak, public): To effectively assess the feasibility of scaling the PLA process, I need to gather insights on the current demand for PLA assessments and the resources we have available. Specifically, can we discuss the practical review effort required and any potential budget constraints or urgency signals from our partners? This information will help us ensure compliance with accreditation standards while balancing academic quality and operational capacity.
[R0.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): I can share that our pilot for the PLA process is currently set to operate across 2 campuses with 186 students, and we have seen an average yield of 9.6 credits awarded per student. The assessor training is designed to last 6 hours and includes 2 calibration exercises. As for the proposed scope, we are looking at covering 5 programs with a launch planned for August 2026. However, I believe it’s crucial to understand the compliance requirements and any budget limitations that might impact our plans. Can you provide insights on the governing limits for credit awards and documentation needed?
[R0.3] Finance & HR Business Partner (speak, public): I can share that we have a funding availability constraint of $300,000 from the workforce innovation fund for FY26, which should help us assess affordability. Additionally, the tooling approach we're considering will have an incremental license cost of $0 and will require a storage increase of 2 TB per year. However, we need to be mindful of the year-1 operating cost model, which is estimated at $248,000. This includes a stipends component of $156,000. Let’s ensure we align on the review effort required and any other compliance considerations that may arise.

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Registrar & Accreditation Liaison (speak, public): To address your inquiries, the regional accreditor allows up to 30 PLA credits per associate degree, with a requirement for learning-outcome mapping for 100% of awards. Additionally, PLA must be posted as credit-only (CR) on transcripts within 10 business days after final approval. We need to ensure these compliance standards are met as we consider scaling the PLA process. Given the budget constraints you've mentioned, it will also be essential to align our operational costs with these requirements. Can we explore how these factors will influence the review effort required?
[R1.2] Director of Workforce & Adult Learner Programs (speak, public): Thank you for the insights on compliance and budget. To align our operational costs effectively with the PLA process, I’d like to suggest we take a closer look at the review effort required specifically for the learning-outcome mapping for the PLA credits. Understanding how we can streamline this process could help us stay compliant while managing costs. Can we discuss any preliminary thoughts on this?
