Before enrolling in the College Achievement Program, it is the student's responsibility to contact the institution to which he or she is seeking admission to determine transferability of CAP credits. The decision to recognize credits is the prerogative of the receiving institution.

How Some Colleges & Universities Have Accepted Dual

Transfer of
college
credit is
determined by the
college or university
to which a student is seeking admission. Each college/university evaluates
transfer courses based upon their specific curriculum requirements and the
student’s intended major. From time to time curriculum requirements change,
which means the acceptance of transfer courses may change. A student
wanting to transfer credit to a specific college or university should check
directly with that institution (registrar’s office, office of
admissions, or academic school of a student’s intended major) to determine
if a course will be accepted and how it will be counted toward graduation
requirements.
Credit Transfer to Public
Institutions in Indiana
Public schools within the state of
Indiana recently have established a Core Transfer Library (CTL). Each course
included in the list will transfer to any public college or university in
Indiana if the student has earned an adequate grade in the course. According
to the Transfer IN Web site, “Core Transfer Library courses will meet the
general or free elective requirements of undergraduate degree programs and
most CTL courses will
also count towards degree program requirements, if an equivalent course is
taught at your new campus.” For more information about the CTL and
how the CAP courses below transfer to schools around the state, visit the site
for
Transfer Indiana.

High Schools Participate.

Credit Transfer to Private
Schools & Schools Out of State
Public schools out of state generally accept dual credit transfers, as do
some private schools. The registrar's office, admission office, or
prospective academic school will be able to verify how credits from a CAP
course will be accepted and counted toward graduation requirements.
When contacting a college or university to determine how CAP credit will transfer, be sure to have the following information ready:
1.
The name and number of the CAP course (e.g. ENG 101 Rhetoric and
Composition)
2. The course description (see
2007-08 CAP Course Descriptions)
3. The number of credit hours
Be prepared to ask the following:
1.
Will the course fulfill a graduation requirement or be accepted for elective
credit?
2.
Is a minimum grade required for the course to transfer?
3.
Will you send written confirmation of what was agreed to in this
conversation?
How Some Colleges and Universities Have Accepted Dual Credit in the Past
The following four lists were compiled
from the reports of former concurrent enrollment students at USI, Indiana
University, and Syracuse University. The lists represent four general kinds
of transfer:
1. Transfer accepted
2. Conditional transfers
3. Transfer with additional requirements
4.
Transfer not accepted
Students are advised to take a portfolio of their work (including a course syllabus, graded papers, tests, and the course completed letter) to new student orientation in order to demonstrate the college work in the course and to gain the transfer credit. Students should go to the subject area department (mathematics, English, history, etc.) and show the portfolio to the freshman adviser in the academic department. Persistence on the part of students often meets with a successful transfer of credit. Students should not carry a USI transcript. Colleges and universities usually insist on receiving a transcript directly from USI.
