Transfer Services
NPRC welcomes applications from all transfer students. As a PA TRAC participant, the College wants to ensure that your transition to NPRC is as seamless as possible. The College hopes to be part of your educational journey and applauds you for taking steps toward achieving your educational goals.
Transferring to NPRC
Northern Pennsylvania Regional College is a Candidate for Accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Please note the following:
If you are a student who has previously earned college credit at another institution, you are able to see what credits may transfer prior to applying by submitting an unofficial transcript to the Office of the Registrar for review. To view at a glance courses that NPRC has accepted in transfer, you can explore our Accepted Transfer Credits on the PA TRAC website.
Students who are looking to transfer credits to NPRC must submit an official transcript from any college of record directly to the NPRC’s Office of the Registrar for transfer credit evaluation. Major courses within a degree should be within 10 years of transfer credit evaluation. Course completion date is not considered when evaluating General Education courses for transfer credit.
Degree-seeking students may also be eligible to receive prior learning credit, including credits earned through military service, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Advanced Placement (AP), active industry credentials, or challenge exams.
Transferring from NPRC
Northern Pennsylvania Regional College is in the process of seeking candidacy for accreditation. As part of this process, beginning with the spring 2020 semester, NPRC is operating independently as a non-accredited institution. Please note the following:
However, upon, but not before, affirmation of the College’s accreditation, any student who attends NPRC during the College’s time as a candidate for accreditation will be able to say that they earned credits from an accredited institution.
The transferability of credits is determined by the receiving institution. Many institutions do not accept credits in transfer from institutions that are not accredited; other institutions do not accept any transfer credits. If you want to attend a college other than NPRC AND want to take classes at NPRC during high school AND you want those credits to transfer, we strongly recommend that you speak with the college you wish to attend prior to attending classes to get confirmation that they will accept credits earned at NPRC. You may be asked to provide a course description and/or syllabus to the institution as part of the evaluation. Visit PA TRAC to find a list of courses accepted to other colleges.
College transfer agreements, or articulation agreements, are made available to students who plan to transfer from NPRC to complete a four-year degree at another institution.

“Attending NPRC was truly life-changing for me and provided a foundation to pursue my passion for early childhood education. I gained the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this field. But it was bigger than just academics; my professors taught me valuable life lessons and instilled important values that have shaped who I am today. Overall, my college journey has not only prepared me for a successful career but has also equipped me with the mindset and tools to make a positive impact on the lives of young children.”
- Brittany, Early Childhood Education Graduate
“I had a fear that this degree would be unobtainable due to being a full-time employee and mother. With the support of family, friends, coworkers, and NPRC, I’ve gained confidence and support to continue my education.”
- Brittney, NPRC Student
“From the first time I found out about NPRC, I knew attending college was something I wanted to pursue because of how genuine the first interaction was. I’m proof that finding the right path can be done. It’s worth it to find ways out of situations you do not want to be in for better ones. I can’t say enough about how NPRC’s employees have empowered and advocated for me.”
- Amanda, NPRC Student
"NPRC’s faculty, staff, and professors do everything they can to see the students succeed and provide us with exactly what we need to do our best both inside the classroom and out. The early childhood education program is phenomenal. It was a school that aided me in balancing class, schoolwork, and my career. From the start and throughout my time, NPRC made me feel like I was at the right place.”
