USI'S COLLEGE ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM
Students may choose to enroll in USI’s College Achievement Program, CAP, to earn college credit for Political Science 102, Introduction to American Politics, from USI at a reduced rate of tuition ($25 per credit hour or $75 total). Students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch this academic year may enroll at no charge by indicating eligibility on the application in question #13.
Political Science 102 is a three credit hour course that meets USI’s general education requirements (Core Curriculum Category C2) and is highly transferable. To enroll in CAP, students should have at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale and submit the completed application to the instructor on or before the given deadline. USI will bill students at their home; no money should be submitted to the high school. College credit can only be earned during the semester in which the student is enrolled. No paperwork will be accepted after the last meeting day of the class.
Whether college credit earned through dual or concurrent credit courses will be accepted by another institution of higher education 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 (their 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.
Students who plan to attend a public Indiana institution can visit the Core Transfer Library, or CTL, (http://www.transferin.net/CTL.aspx) to see how various USI/CAP classes will transfer around the state. POLS 102 is listed under the CTL title of “American Government.”
In most cases, students will need to earn a C or better to transfer credit from USI to another institution. Grades of D or lower earned in CAP courses are recorded on a student’s USI transcript but may not be able to transfer.
It is the student’s responsibility to determine transferability of USI credits before enrolling in CAP courses. Refunds will not be issued if USI credits are not able to be transferred.
