- In NJ only, a Real Estate "Referral Agent" license is comparable to a Real Estate Salesperson License, and a Real Estate "Broker/Salesperson" or "Broker of Record" license is comparable to a Real Estate Broker License. Please note that the title of "Broker/Salesperson" is not a combination of New Jersey's Real Estate Salesperson and Broker licenses. Therefore, students must provide distinct documentation of each license in order to be awarded credit for each license.

Can I transfer PLR credit to another institution?
If you are seeking to transfer the PLR credits to another college, the decision whether or not to accept these credits in transfer rests with that college. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the receiving institution's academic policy will allow transfer of each credit. Thomas Edison State University offers a non-degree service called Individual Learning Account that may be helpful.
