How does transfer credit work?
How does Newstate University evaluate credit for prior learning, like certifications or military credentials?
Overview
At Newstate University, we value the experience and knowledge you’ve already gained. If you hold industry-recognized certifications or have completed prior coursework, you may be eligible to apply those credits toward your degree or certificate—saving time, money, and effort. Our credit transfer process ensures that your past learning counts toward future success.
How It Works
Submit Your Transcripts
If you have completed college courses elsewhere, send your official transcripts and other industry certifications via this form, or via email to: contactus@newstateu.com, and we will evaluate them for eligible credit transfer. This applies to both undergraduate and graduate-level coursework.
Submit Industry Certifications
We recognize professional credentials that demonstrate expertise in specific fields. If you hold certifications such as PMP, Lean Six Sigma, Salesforce, or Armed Forces credentials, you can submit them for evaluation. If they meet our academic criteria, we will apply them toward your degree.
Earn Certificates That Stack Into a Degree
At Newstate University, every course builds toward a certificate, and every certificate stacks into a degree. This ensures that your learning moves you forward—without wasted effort.
