Professional Learning Credits are defined as credits awarded for holding an unencumbered certification/license or work experience in a related field. Students in the R.N. to Bachelor of Science, R.R.T. to Bachelor of Science, or Associate of Science in Health Science who possess a professional license or certification may also submit documentation to be reviewed to see if they qualify for Professional Learning Credits. They may also submit transcripts from institutions or programs that do not hold a recognized accreditation to be reviewed to possibly earn Professional Learning Credits (PLC).
