Policy:  
PNWU does not accept transfer students, transfer credits, or waive the requirements set forth in the Student Admission policy or process.  

The transferability of credits earned at PNWU is at the discretion of the receiving college, university, or other educational institution. Students considering transferring to any institution should not assume that credits earned in any program of study at PNWU will be accepted by the receiving institution. Similarly, the ability of a degree, certificate, diploma, or other academic credential earned at PNWU to satisfy an admission requirement of another institution is at the discretion of the receiving institution. Accreditation does not guarantee that credentials or credits earned at PNWU will be accepted by or transferred to another institution. To minimize the risk of having to repeat coursework, students should contact the receiving institution in advance for evaluation and determination of transferability of credits and/or acceptability of degrees, diplomas, or certificates earned.
