*There is significant duplication in the college-equivalent subject areas among courses marked with an asterisk. Therefore, learners will generally be able to utilize credits from just one course, even if multiple courses are completed in this set.
What can I study?
- To get the most out of the credits, consider the following degree programs:
- AS, Nuclear Engineering Technology
- BS, Nuclear Engineering Technology
- BS, Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology
- Contact the School of Applied Science and Technology to learn more about the degree pathways related to your PLR assessment
- If you have additional college credits you would like to transfer or prefer a different degree program at the University, a University academic evaluation will determine whether and how PLR credits may fulfill the requirements for your degree of choice.
How do I get started?
- Submit documentation of successful completion
Westinghouse maintains internal and customer training records to verify completion of training. To obtain course completion transcripts, contact Deborah E. Ruff, Training and Operational Services Administrative Assistant, Westinghouse Electric Company, 680 Waltz Mill Road, Madison, PA 15663; (724) 722-6653; ruffed@westinghouse.com

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.
