  • Submit documentation of successful completion
    Students should submit a copy of their RN license to the Office of the Registrar, Thomas Edison State University, 111 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08608.

Can I transfer PLR credit to another institution? top of page

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.
