Earn College Credit for Work Experience, Previous College Experience and Military Experience with UISCA's Transfer Credit Evaluation Program

Life itself is an education. We believe you have gained valuable knowledge from your real-world, on-the-job experience. That's why UISCA makes every effort to apply college credit for work experience and credit for military experience whenever possible. We also review any prior college coursework you've completed in an effort to apply these courses to your UISCA degree program.

Student Assessment Form is the first step towards enrollment. Please fill the form out completely, and include a copy of all your certificates, licenses, diplomas or any other proof of your studies for which you wish credit. At this time we can only accept information in English, German or Czech.

The $149.00 fee is a non-refundable assessment fee.

College Credit for Life Experience

Practical work experience is one of the best ways to glean knowledge. The responsibilities you've been charged with, the daily tasks you've completed, and the project teams you have been a part of have all contributed to your education.

Receiving college credit for work experience involves a simple process that can greatly decrease the time it takes you to graduate.

College Credit for Military Experience

Being in the military is an excellent way to improve your education while serving your country. UISCA makes every effort to award college credit for military experience. The time you have served and the duties you have performed can actually help you graduate sooner than you might think.

To receive college credit for military service, you'll need to complete a transfer credit application. Once your service record and application have been evaluated, we'll award college credit for military experience where applicable and create an individual education plan customized for you.
