• All students must demonstrate the ability to complete the coursework.
• Applicants must be a high school graduate or hold a GED and submit proof of such within 14 days of class start.
• Naaleh will assess official transcripts, GPA, application essay, and recommendations.

Previous coursework that fulfills the same requirements as courses offered by Naaleh College may be submitted for evaluation. Credit will be awarded if it is determined that the transcripts meet Naaleh's standards. Students who take Advanced Placement (AP) or CLEP exams can receive credit and/or exemption from taking those subjects. In order to receive credit for an AP test, students must receive a grade of 4 or 5. To receive credit for a CLEP test, students must pass a test given by the school to show proficiency of knowledge at a minimum score of 85%.

Students who attend a school that has an articulation agreement with Naaleh, can take a designated course in that school and, with a passing score, will automatically receive credit and transfer the credit to Naaleh. Up to 25% of a student's credits may be transferred from other institutions or earned by taking tests administrated by other institutions to Naaleh College.

Applicants desiring to “place out” of any given course may take a placement exam. Students will not receive credit, but may gain exemption from prerequisites.

The transferability of Naaleh College credits is solely at the discretion of the receiving institution. At this time Naaleh College is not institutionally accredited, which may affect the transfer of credit. It is each student's responsibility to confirm whether or not credits will be accepted by another institution.

Naaleh will accept credits that meet school's standards. Classes offered by accredited institutions, Israeli yeshivot and seminaries, and some advanced high school courses are eligible for credit.

Students may transfer credits earned at and transferred from other postsecondary institutions, when congruent and applicable to Naaleh's program, and when validated and confirmed by Naaleh. Credits can also be earned upon successful completion of challenge examinations or standardized tests demonstrating learning at the credential level in specific subject matter areas.

Prior learning, as validated, evaluated, and confirmed by qualified instructors at Naaleh, can also earn credits.

Up to 25% of a program's credits can be transferred from other institutions to Naaleh College.
