Your Past Credits Still Count. Here’s Why That Matters.

If you’ve taken college classes in the past—whether two semesters or two years’ worth—you’ve probably wondered what happened to those credits. Do they still count? Can you use them? Or are they just expensive memories? Too often, students returning to college after a break discover the same frustrating truth: their old credits are ignored, expired, or simply not accepted. It’s one of the least talked-about failures of higher education—and one of the biggest reasons adults give up on finishing their degrees. At Newlane University, we believe that your past efforts deserve recognition. The Hidden Crisis of “Orphan Credits” In the U.S., more than 39 million people have some college but no degree. Many of them walked away from school not because they couldn’t handle the academics, but because of life: jobs, kids, finances, or health. But when they try to return, they’re told their credits are too old. Or they

Why Newlane University Chose to Forgo Federal Financial Aid

Higher education is broken.  Tuition is higher than ever, debt is crushing generations of graduates, and bureaucracy continues to bloat the system. At Newlane University, we’ve taken a different path. We’ve deliberately chosen not to participate in Title IV (grants and loans) federal financial aid programs. That decision might sound counterintuitive—but it’s central to our mission to make higher education radically more affordable and accessible through structural innovation, not government subsidies. Operational Efficiency Through Regulatory Independence Participating in federal financial aid means navigating complex regulations, compliance audits, and administrative red tape. These systems were designed to protect students—but they also inflate institutional overhead and pull focus away from teaching and learning. By staying independent of Title IV, we’ve built a leaner, more agile university. Instead of pouring resources into bureaucratic compliance, we invest directly in what matters most:   Curriculum development Student support Learning outcomes This autonomy helps us stay

Newlane University Launches B.A. in Liberal Arts with Specializations in Business and Psychology

Have you ever felt like you function well as an adult, but there are gaps in your understanding of basic knowledge that society assumes you already have? Perhaps you can’t quite identify what’s missing, but it might relate to the natural sciences (like physics, astronomy, biology, geology, or chemistry), social sciences (like psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, or political science), or the arts and humanities (like art history, literature, music, or philosophy). Most of the time, these gaps don’t interfere with daily life, but occasionally, you sense that a basic, expected level of understanding has eluded you. And you further sense that this missing knowledge could leave you more susceptible to misinformation, or exploitation or simply limit your ability to fully appreciate and engage with the world. It’s not due to any personal failure or inability—it’s simply because you haven’t had the opportunity to follow a deliberate curriculum designed to build

You can transfer your existing credits and focus on finishing your degree fast. With this approach, you also get to decide when and how you learn, making it a flexible option for many.
