Documenting NCCRS Learning
Once you've located your learning in the NCCRS guide, the next step is to request third-party documentation. Typically, you can't use your copy of a certificate. Instead, the organization that provided the training needs to send the information directly to the learning to the SUNY Empire admissions office.
Contact information for each organization is listed in the NCCRS guide. For example, if you have received training through the New York City Police Department, the contact information for the Training Records Unit is located in a sidebar at the right of the organization page at https://www.nationalccrs.org/organizations/new-york-city-police.
This information should allow you to order your training records. Be sure to ask the organization to email them directly to the Empire State University admissions Office at admissions@sunyempire.edu or mail them to:
Admissions
Empire State University
111 West Ave.
Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
Do not have the organization send the training records to you.
All records must come directly from the training organization to the admissions office.
Once the admissions office has received your transcript, the Office of Prior Learning will verify the credits for each of your NCCRS evaluations, and the Registrar's Office will then enter the credit onto your record (it appears as transfer credit). You and your mentor or advisor can then use the credits as you plan your degree or complete your structured program.
If you have any trouble ordering transcripts for your NCCRS-evaluated learning, please contact the Office of Prior Learning at OPL@sunyempire.edu.
