Credit from other institutions


Transfer credit from an institution that does not have a CHEA-recognized accreditation

Students who have completed learning at an institution that was not accredited by a CHEA-recognized accrediting body may still request evaluation of their learning through the PLA process, even though their credit was denied through the typical institution-to-institution transfer process.

This pathway may include:

  • Coursework from non-CHEA-accredited institutions, particularly for healthcare.
  • Transfer Enrollment Pipeline Partnerships, such as with Jersey College for Nursing.

Students may be asked to provide:

  • Course descriptions
  • Syllabi
  • Learning outcomes
  • Official transcripts from non-CHEA-recognized accredited institutions
  • Other supporting documentation

Faculty and academic units review the learning to determine whether it is equivalent to undergraduate-level coursework at NAU.
