What can I study?

 

How do I get started?

  • Submit documentation of successful completion
    Students should submit this form to the Building Performance Institute, 107 Hermes Road, Suite 210 Malta, New York 12020. BPI will then send the University a letter verifying the student's successful completion of the credential or achievement.

 

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.
