is granted to an institution by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and is focused on the educational process and student learning outcomes including placement, retention and licensure pass rates. Nationally accredited institutions predominantly offer career and/ or technical programs with a strong emphasis on preparing students for careers and future success in their fields of study. Sumner College is a nationally accredited institution and credits granted from our college will most likely not transfer to a regionally accredited institution unless the college has a predetermined articulation or transfer credit agreement. The programs at Sumner College are designed to prepare students for a specific professional objective and are not intended to be a transfer program. The transfer of Sumner College credits to other schools is always at the discretion of the receiving school, generally dependent on comparability of curricula and may depend on comparability of accreditation. Sumner College cannot guarantee the transferability of credits and students intending to transfer to another institution should always check with that school. Transcripts Students can request a copy of their official transcript for a charge of $10.00; unofficial transcripts are available at no charge. Please go to our website: http://www.sumnercollege.edu/ transcript-request/? and click through to the Sumner College Parchment Storefront to order your transcript. Both electronic and physical transcripts may be ordered and sent directly to the institution chosen. Articulation Agreements The college has secured articulation and course transfer agreements for graduates of the Practical Nursing program (PN) and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program (BSN). The following schools offer programs in which the college has secured an articulation agreement, or block transfers in which a student may be eligible to transfer specific courses. If a graduate pursues higher education, it is the decision of the institution in which they apply to grant transfer credit. Please contact our Career Services department, or institutions you may be considering, for further information. The agreements in place between the college and these institutions can be modified or withdrawn by either institution. Practical Nursing Program • Sumner College
TRANSFER CREDITS Transfer credit integral to the school’s approved degree curriculum may be awarded at the corresponding degree level for academic work documented by other schools that are regionally accredited, authorized to confer degrees in or from Oregon, or otherwise individually or categorically approved by the Office of Degree Authorization. Students wishing to transfer credits from another accredited, degree-granting institution will be required to have the institution provide an official, sealed transcript to Sumner College no later than the student’s first day of the term. Additionally, students who would like to transfer credits to be evaluated must submit unofficial transcripts with their application. Students may transfer up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the total credits required to complete this program. The institution must be accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Transfer credits must be earned with a grade of a “C” or higher and must be a 100 level or higher to be considered for transfer. If the class in question is the same or judged substantially similar in scope to the course offered at Sumner College, transfer credit may be allowed. Grades earned in coursework accepted for transfer credit are not calculated in the cumulative grade point average nor used in the calculations toward satisfactory academic progress. Credit by Examination is not allowed. Sumner College does not offer advanced placement. Students who transfer courses into their academic program of study may audit the course. Students are not charged to audit the course, but they must pay for the textbook used in the course. Students wishing to audit courses will need to contact the school registrar. This request is granted on a space availability basis. Transfer of Credits to Other Schools Transfer of credit is always at the discretion of the receiving school, generally depends on comparability of curricula, and may depend on comparability of accreditation. 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 this institution 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. For this reason, you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. 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. There are two types of accreditation in post-secondary education: Regional Accreditation and National Accreditation. Regional accreditation is granted to an institution by one of six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the United States Department of Education depending on the institution’s location. Regionally accredited institutions tend to place a greater emphasis on academic research and services and less on specific student learning outcomes. National accreditation
