TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICIES PRACTICAL NURSING PROGRAM Courses taken in the Practical Nursing Program are non-credit and vocational in nature. The Practical Nursing Program does not accept transfer credits from another college, university or institution of higher learning. Standard College’s LPN to RN Transition Program accepts transfer credits to the following six courses as part of the admission process: Anatomy & Physiology I, Anatomy & Physiology II, Microbiology General/Introduction to Psychology, College Mathematics, College English Composition, and Speech/Public Speaking/Communication. In order for the transfer credits to be accepted, applicants must demonstrate a grade of “C” or better in each of the courses, the courses must be at least 3 credits, and the courses must each be earned from an institution accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Other than the pre-requisite courses listed above, which are required as part of the admission process, the LPN to RN Transition program does not accept transfer credits from another college, university or institution of higher learning.

While Standard College agrees to review the evaluation for possible transfer credits, we reserve the right to accept or deny credits based upon the results of the evaluation.
