Acceptance of the degree, diploma or certificate you earn in a program of study is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If credits, degree, diploma, or certificate that you earn at Sumner College are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. This may include contacting an institution which you may seek transfer to after attending Sumner College to determine if your academic credits, degree, diploma, or certificate will transfer. Maximum transfer credit for all applicants wishing to transfer previous coursework is 25%. Final deter- mination is the decision of Sumner College. Transfer credit will be evaluated by the Dean of Students and submitted to the Registrar. The transferability of a course depends upon many factors, including but not limited to the scope of the course and content, date in which the course was completed, credit hours, and accreditation. If an applicant is accepted into the program and wishes to transfer credit, an official transcript must be received by the first day of class. Students should be aware actual degree requirements vary from institution. Transferability of credit is always the decision of the school in which you wish to transfer, and is never within the control of the credit granting institution. Wyatt, LPN Graduate Success Story

Prior to enrolling at Sumner College, I was managing a gas station and just finishing my AAS Degree at Portland Community College. I knew I wanted more of a challenge with my career, and I wanted something that would make me a more well-rounded individual. My education helped me accomplish my dreams and goals. My education will allow me to have my dream job. I chose Sumner College because I heard so many great reviews from other students and I knew it was the best option for me.
