NU will accept credential evaluations through any evaluation agency accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). In addition, credential evaluations by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) are also accepted.
Prior Learning Credit
National University recognizes knowledge is acquired in many different ways. In addition to the traditional classroom setting, mastery of college-level knowledge and skills may occur as a result of nontraditional learning experiences such as employment, military training and experience, noncollegiate training programs, advanced high school courses, and self-development. The University awards applicable credits earned for nontraditional prior learning, however, credit is not awarded simply for experience but for measurable college-level learning which includes knowledge, skills and competencies students have obtained as a result of their prior learning experiences. College credit may be granted on a case-by-case basis for prior learning only when it can be documented and falls within regular credit course offerings.
The maximum number of credits acceptable for non- collegiate learning is a cumulative total of up to 135 quarter credits (90 semester credits) for an associate degree or baccalaureate degree unless programmatic accreditation requires otherwise.
This maximum total is cumulative of all non-collegiate coursework. The credits may be from the following sources:
- A maximum of 22.5 quarter credits (15 semester credits) may be earned for:
- Excelsior College Examinations
- Council for Adult Experiential Learning (CAEL) Portfolio
- Departmental examinations at National University (Credit by Examination).
- A maximum of 45 quarter credits (30 semester credits) of lower-division credit may be allowed for clinical courses for a registered nurse who is a graduate of a three-year hospital nursing school. Up to 22.5 quarter credits (15 semester credits) of additional lower-division credit may be granted for academically equivalent coursework.

Paralegal Transfer Credit Policy
Students may receive credit for up to thirty percent (30%) of their legal specialty courses by transferring in coursework taken at another college or university, if approved by the Program Director or a qualified faculty member. Students transferring from American Bar Association (ABA) approved programs for which there is an existing articulation agreement may receive credit for up to fifty percent (50%) of their legal specialty coursework. Approval can be obtained by:
- An articulation agreement established through National University and the student’s prior college or university, or
- Submission of a petition for transfer credit by the student to the Office of the Registrar, which will include:
- The name of the prior college or university,
- Whether or not the prior program is ABA approved, and
- For each course taken in the prior program for which credit is sought:
- The name of the course,
- The course description,
- The course syllabus,
- Documentation of the number of hours the course was offered in synchronous and/or asynchronous format, if not included in the syllabus, and
- Certification of the student’s final grade in the course (typically via a transcript from the prior institution).
Petitions will be reviewed by the Program Director or a qualified faculty member. Credit will only be granted if the course is equivalent in content, length, and nature to a National University course, the student has earned a grade of C or better, and the course was taken within the last ten (10) years. Additionally, students must still complete at least nine (9) semester credits or the equivalent of legal specialty courses through synchronous instruction and may be further limited in transfer credits to satisfy this requirement.
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Transfer Credit Policy
The School Dean or designee uses the following criteria to evaluate proposed transfer credits at the graduate-level:
- Completed within five (5) years prior to acceptance at the University, while enrolled at a regionally or nationally accredited institution
- Credits must be earned with a grade of “B” or better or an equivalent satisfactory grade
- A maximum of three (3) semester credits may be transferred from a graduate-level program to the University’s Post-Baccalaureate certificate programs
- Must be equivalent to coursework as demonstrated by the transfer course description
Note: The Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Post-Baccalaureate Certificate may accept a maximum of 12 semester credit hours in transfer credit toward the certificate program for graduate coursework completed toward graduate degree at an accredited college or university with a grade of “B” or better. Transfer credit is only awarded for course work that is evaluated to be substantially equivalent in content to the required course work in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Post-Baccalaureate Certificate.
Note: Credits earned at the University have the same time limits stated above for migration and application to current programs and degree plans, based on the date the corresponding course grade was posted.
