Transfer Credits--Demonstration of Currency
Currency of knowledge is a critical aspect of the Thomas Edison State University degrees. Keeping abreast of change and innovation in the world today is a requisite of professional men and women. As adult learners, students may have earned a significant portion of their technical credits 10 or more years prior to their application to Thomas Edison State University. The University is aware of this possibility and has developed policies and procedures to ensure the quality of its degree programs and to accommodate students’ needs.
For students enrolled in the BS degree, up to half of the credits up to 22 credits in the area of study will be accepted regardless of the age of these credits. To validate the currency of their knowledge, students can supply documentation of certain types of learning experiences through our Demonstration of Currency process. These documents will be reviewed by an associate or assistant dean from the Heavin School of Arts, Sciences, and Technology and, if approved, will be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for an update to the Academic Evaluation.
