Transfer Credit to CUSF
CUSF accepts credit by transfer from all schools, colleges, and universities offering undergraduate college level courses at institutions accredited by an acceditation body approved by the US Department of Education.  Education completed abroad will be evaluated on an individual basis.
Credit by Portfolio Assessment

Upon completion of the 1 credit CUSF online course "Portfolio Development and Learning Theory", the 1 credit online course "Research in Portfolio Development" and the 1 credit correspondence course entitled "Learning Colloquium", students may submit a portfolio that documents college level learning that has taken place outside the undergraduate institutional setting.  A student may gain credit for prior experiential learning only if the prior learning is equivalent to a college or university level of learning; demonstrates a balance between theory and practice; and directly relates to the degree program sought.

The student's submission is assessed by a panel of educators experienced in the subject field and with the porfolio assessment process. 

Credit is awarded by CUSF when the student demonstrates a learning experience equivalent in scope and breadth to an undergraduate course available at an accredited institution. 

Credit by Portfolio Assessment
is not awarded when demonstration of learning in a subject (course) is already available through a Credit by Examination process.
