• To get the most out of the credits, consider the following degree program:

• Contact the School of Nursing 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.

 

• Submit documentation of successful completion
  

  Students must submit a notarized copy of their state's RN license to the Office of the Registrar, Thomas Edison State University, 111 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08608, along with a completed Student Submission of TESC-Assessed Credentialsform. The actual document may vary state to state but all licenses should contain the license type, name of the nurse, license number, license status, and expiration date. Students who received their associate degree in nursing from a regionally accredited institution may have transfer credits granted in lieu of the RN license credit.

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.
