Abstract	The author investigates the way Irish universities answer the demand for Accreditation of Prior (Experiential) Lerarning (AP(E)L). With the decreasing number if traditional students, these institutions became attentive to non-traditional students or developed 'extra-mural courses'. ... AP(E)L invites one to overcome the separation [between separate curricula for the two student groups] and challenges the capacities of universities to recognise and assess learning acquired outside the academic sphere. ... [The article presents] through micro case studies from the 1990s, the perception from inside the academy of the expectations of groups outside the academy with regard to to recognising and accrediting their non-formal and informal learning. ... [The article gives] firstly a brief presentation of each case emphasising the AP(E)L dimension, and secondly some brief systhesised reflections on the cases in the context of current informal and non-formal learning theory.
