Additional Information for the Practical Nursing (PN) program

Any student who meets all the criteria of the above Transfer of Credit Policy except for the fact that their credits were earned more than one year ago, but no more than three years previously may request the opportunity of a proficiency exam. The proficiency exam is available for the two anatomy and physiology courses,
A&PI01 and A&P 102, and for the Nutrition across the Lifespan course. The student must achieve a minimum score of 78% on each proficiency exam taken and, if successful, will receive credit earned from the previous school as transfer.

Tuition will be adjusted and prorated based on how many credit hours are accepted for transfer.

For Individuals with experience in the armed forces of the United States, or in the National Guard or in a reserve component, the Program Administrator will review the military education and skills training that may be applicable to AMI’s curriculum. If the military education and or skills are substantially equivalent to content required in the AMI curriculum transfer credit will be awarded and noted on the transcript as Military Credit.
