What can I study? top of page


 

How do I get started? top of page

  • Submit documentation of successful completion
    Students need to submit a Microsoft issued Microsoft Software and Systems Academy certificate with a valid date and pathway. MSSA graduates may request an official copy of the graduate's MSSA certificate of completion to be sent to TESU by contacting mssaops@microsoft.com and providing their first and last name and graduation date in the request.


 

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.
