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, autho- rized to confer degrees in or from Oregon, or otherwise individually or categorically approved by the Higher Education Coordinating Commis- sion Office of Degree Authorization (HECC-ODA). 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 tran- scripts 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). 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.

For the Practical Nursing program and Bachelor of Science in Nursing program: general education courses have a ten-year expiration date, and science and medical courses have a five year expiration date. LPN’s that are graduates of an accredited practical nursing program that hold an active, unencumbered license are eligible to transfer courses with a twenty-year expiration date. For the RN-BSN program transfer credits have no expiration. 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 institu- tion 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 accred- itation 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.
