Prior Learning Assessment
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is an internationally recognized system allowing the identification, documentation, assessment and recognition of prior learning experiences. It allows tertiary institutions to determine whether an applicant, who does not meet the standard matriculation requirements, possesses the competencies required to enter a university course of study.
International Students' Office
The University has an International Students’ Office (ISO) which is specifically equipped to support our international students by facilitating their recruitment, registration, accommodation and sponsorship.
Additionally, the ISO assists students with many student-related services, including passport and immigration related issues, guidance and references for opening bank accounts and basic security and safety guidelines.
Office of Admissions & Enrolment Management
The Office of Admissions & Enrolment Management (OAEM) is responsible for developing admissions and enrolment management policies and procedures, ensuring that these procedures are adhered to and ensuring that all programmes in each Faculty are fully subscribed. The Office has the ultimate responsibility of ensuring selection and enrolment of students for various programmes in each Faculty.
In addition, OAEM monitors student attrition and progress from admission to completion of programmes. To do so, the Office prepares, maintains and analyses statistical data to monitor trends in all the University’s programmes, and make recommendations and projections based on these trends.
The Office also plays an integral role in promoting the institution both locally and overseas.
OAEM is located at the building behind the Credit Union and is managed by Mr. Clayton Moore, the Assistant Registrar – Admissions and Enrolment.
He may be contacted by e-mail at admissions@utech.edu.jm or by telephone at (876) 927-1680 ext. 2014.
