Acceptance of Transfer Credit
Each program has a minimum academic content specified in semester credits. Course credits with a grade of "C" or better earned at other colleges or universities recognized by CII may be transferred into CII courses programs subject to acceptance by the Admissions Office. Quarter credits from other institutions are converted into equivalent semester credits as follows: 1 semester credit equals 1.5 quarter credits. All students must complete CII course work in addition to projects, reports, theses or dissertations to qualify for award of a courses certificate.
Credit for Non-Academic Experience
CIImay grant some graduate transfer credit for significant, well documented non-academic professional achievements such as published writings, major work projects, professional licenses, appropriate professional training, etc. All such transfer credit is awarded solely at the discretion of the Admissions Office. Note: non-academic transfer credit is not available to undergraduate students.
