What can I study?

• 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?

  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. TESU can verify the license using state websites. In NJ, visit the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs. In PA, visit the Pennsylvania Licensing System.

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.
