At present, we do not have an articulation agreement or transfer or credit agreement between any other institutions. However, we do accept transfer of credit and this is detailed below.

Following the guidelines of transfer credit policy from American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, (AACRAO), the department head of the program as well as the Chief Academic Officer at 藏精阁 will evaluate all previous college work in relation to the requirements of the program of study. Admissions Department convert semester units of credit transferred to the university to quarter units by multiplying semester-unit totals by one-half (1陆). 聽All undergraduate degree accepted students will be issued a transferred credit summary upon enrollment that serves as a basis for determining remaining requirements for the students鈥 specific objectives.

The student is held responsible for submission of one of the required documents below to Admissions Department for transfer credit verification and evaluation.

  • A completed prerequisite and general education course verification form;
  • A copy of the school catalog or documentation showing that the Program/Institution where the student wants the credits to transfer from is accredited by United States Department of Education;
  • A copy of the course syllabus with a class content outline sufficient in length and content to determine the depth and scope of the course;
  • An official transcript containing the grade received for the course, and the course must have been successfully completed within the time frame stated in the 藏精阁 transfer policy.

There is no extra charge for students to request transfer credit.

CREDIT FOR COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)

CLEP is a national program that allows students to obtain credit by examination. CLEP examinations are computer based and create instant score reports. CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two years of college. Each exam is 90 minutes long and primarily comprises multiple-choice questions; however, some exams do have fill-ins. The CLEP program鈥檚 long-standing policy limiting test retakes to every six (6) months provides students an opportunity to spend additional time preparing for the exam or the option of taking a classroom course. Please visit the CLEP Prep Center on the College Board website at for useful tips on assessing and preparing for any of the CLEP exams.

Credit for Prior Experiential Learning

The University does not at this time accept or give credit for Prior Experiential Learning. However, students who wish to receive Veteran benefits must submit a statement of previous training to the school for consideration. All appropriate credit will be allowed and recorded on a veteran student鈥檚 enrollment record and the length of the course will be shortened appropriately. In keeping with the policies of the Veterans Administration, we do accept up to 12-quarter credit units/hours of prior experiential learning for veterans.

Award of prior credit is done on a case-by-case basis and is dependent on credit awarded by the Military for its schooling such as basic training, Officer鈥檚 Candidacy schooling, Command and General Staff etc., or appropriate, creditable prior military experience (e.g. service in a foreign war, service during war-time, continuous and prolonged service to the military, etc.). The veteran must request and provide the following:

  1. All transcripts
  2. Acknowledgement and receipt of military schooling
  3. A statement which explains prior experiential learning

The above items and experiences are examined, analyzed, and if appropriate may be applied to the area of study as part of the 藏精阁 degree in the chosen area.

LVN 45-Unit Option

The LVN 45 Unit Option is Mandated by California Administrative Code, Title 16, Article 3, Section 1429. California law for nurses requires that every school make possible the award of credit to make it possible for a LVN to receive enough credit to sit for the RN-NCLEX examination in the state of California. The LVN 45-unit option was designed as a career ladder for California Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) wishing to become registered nurses. While most states do not

recognize California鈥檚 LVN 30 or 45 Unit Options and will not issue RN licenses to these LVNs, the Board of Nursing (BRN) in California mandates that every California school make the option available to licensed vocational nurses (LVNs). The number of units (30 or 45) depends on quarter or semester options. 藏精阁 is on a quarter unit system and therefore a 45 unit option is mandated by law.
