COLLEGE ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM

Transferability of Credits

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.

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 Use at the University of Southern Indiana

Credits earned through the College Achievement Program are USI courses and will be waiting for students when they arrive at USI's campus. Even so, before enrolling in a CAP course, students should still consult the University Web site for particular requirements of their prospective major and to determine how a CAP course will meet general education requirements (University Core Curriculum, or UCC) for that major. Visit the USI UCC web site for more information.  If you know your major, also check out the major program restrictions link on that page, as some majors specify exactly which courses students should take to meet the UCC requirements for graduation.

Credit Transfer to Public Institutions in Indiana

Public schools within the state of Indiana have established a Core Transfer Library (CTL). Each course included in the list will transfer to any public college or university in Indiana if an equivalent course exists and if the student has earned an adequate grade in the course. According to the Transfer IN Web site, “All Core Transfer Library courses will meet the general education or free elective requirements of undergraduate degree programs, and a significant majority of CTL courses will also count as one-on-one equivalents to courses 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. To learn which schools offer CAP courses, see Which High Schools Participate.
