Champlain College started in 1878 in Burlington, Vermont, and Champlain College Online grew out of that campus-based school. The online division serves adult learners who want flexible degree completion without relocating. Enrollment is much smaller than a large state university, which usually means tighter advising and more direct contact with faculty. That matters when you’re trying to sort out transfer credit before you register for classes.
Champlain is known for career-focused programs in business, cybersecurity, computer science, healthcare administration, and digital media. Its business and technology offerings get the most attention, especially for students who want practical coursework tied to current jobs. The college also has a long-running reputation for applied learning, not just lecture-based classes. That shows up in how it structures online degrees around working adults.
Champlain College Online reviews transfer credit from regionally accredited schools, military training, CLEP, and ACE/NCCRS sources through the registrar and academic departments. Nontraditional credit usually has to match a course in the degree plan or count as an elective, and upper-level major requirements can be tighter. Students should expect a syllabus or transcript review for ACE/NCCRS work, especially if the course needs to replace a specific requirement. If you’re coming from a community college, general education and elective credit are usually the easiest places to gain transfer value.
Browse all UPI Study courses or talk to an advisor to plan which courses fit your Champlain College Online degree plan.
Champlain College Online uses rolling admission for many online programs, so students can often apply for fall or spring entry without waiting for a single hard deadline. Transfer admission usually asks for a minimum college GPA around 2.0, though some programs may look for stronger records. A competitive file shows solid grades, completed transcripts, and clear documentation for any ACE/NCCRS or military credit you want reviewed. If you’ve taken UPI Study courses, finish them early so the registrar has time to evaluate them before registration.
Unlimited access to all 70+ ACE & NCCRS-recommended courses. Study on your schedule — no deadlines, no campus required.
All plans include instant access to 70+ college-level courses. No class schedules, no textbook fees.

See how much you could save compared to paying full tuition at Champlain College Online.
Real experiences from UPI Study students who transferred credits toward their degree.
I checked Champlain College Online first, because I didn’t want to buy courses that wouldn’t count. My son finished two UPI Study classes over the summer and transferred them in without a problem. That saved us time, and it kept his degree plan on track.
I work full-time, so nights were the only option. UPI Study let me knock out credits on my own schedule, then send them to my university when I was done. That made finishing school possible without taking time off work.
I earned my credits from India while living at home. They transferred to my U.S. university, and that saved me a lot of stress. The online format fit my time zone better than live classes.
I’m a paramedic, so my schedule changes fast. I needed something I could do between shifts. UPI Study gave me that flexibility, and I didn’t have to pause my job.
These UPI Study courses have the highest transfer acceptance rates among CCO-accepted ACE & NCCRS-recommended credits — ideal for fulfilling general education requirements at Champlain College Online.
Answers to what students actually search for before they enroll.
Yes. Champlain College Online reviews ACE and NCCRS recommendations through its registrar, along with CLEP and military credit. The key issue is whether the course matches a requirement in your program or can be used as elective credit. For example, a UPI Study course in business basics might land as general education or elective credit, while a course tied to a major requirement gets a closer department review.
Champlain College Online generally accepts up to 90 transfer credits toward a bachelor’s degree, but the exact limit depends on the program. Some major or college requirements still have to be completed at Champlain, so not every outside credit will replace a core course. In practice, general education and elective slots are where most external credits fit. Upper-level major courses are harder to substitute.
Credits from regionally accredited community colleges are usually the easiest to transfer, especially if the course is part of a standard gen-ed sequence. Champlain also works with transfer evaluation on a course-by-course basis, so a local community college course can transfer even if there isn’t a named articulation agreement. UPI Study credits are treated differently because they’re ACE/NCCRS-recommended, not transcripted by a college, but they can still be reviewed for equivalent credit. The registrar looks at course content, level, and documentation.
Start by requesting your UPI Study transcript or completion record after you finish the course. Then send it to Champlain College Online’s registrar for evaluation, and if needed, the academic department will review it for fit within your program. Most students hear back after the transcript is received and matched to the degree audit. If you want fewer surprises, ask for a pre-evaluation before you enroll in more courses.
Champlain College Online’s undergraduate online tuition is about $399 per credit. Thirty credits at that rate comes to about $11,970, before fees. UPI Study’s $499/year plan is much cheaper if you’re using it to complete several ACE/NCCRS courses before transfer. The real savings depend on how many of those credits Champlain accepts into your degree plan.
Champlain College Online is best known for business, cybersecurity, computer science, healthcare administration, and digital media. If you bring in UPI Study credits for general education, you free up room for the harder major courses that Champlain wants you to take there. That can shorten your path to graduation and keep your schedule lighter during the first term. It’s especially useful for adult learners balancing work and school.
Most transfer applicants need at least a 2.0 college GPA for admission, though some programs can be more selective. If you’re applying with a lot of prior credits, a stronger GPA helps, especially for business or technology-related majors. UPI Study course grades don’t usually factor into your college transfer GPA the same way traditional college grades do, but they can still support credit evaluation if the course is accepted.
Champlain College Online often uses rolling admissions for online programs, so transfer deadlines are more flexible than at many residential schools. Fall and spring entry are common, and some programs may have priority dates for financial aid or registration. If you’re using UPI Study credits, finish the courses well before you apply so the registrar has time to review them. That gives you a cleaner degree audit before classes start.
Champlain College Online offers multiple start dates through the year for many online programs, not just one fall intake. Transfer students usually have the same options as other online applicants, depending on the degree. That flexibility is one reason working adults choose it.
Deadlines vary by program because many online degrees use rolling admission. Some terms fill earlier than others, especially if you need financial aid or transfer credit review completed before registration. For the most accurate date, check the specific program calendar rather than assuming a single university-wide deadline.
Yes, it’s built for students who already have college credit. Champlain College Online regularly evaluates transfer coursework, military training, and ACE/NCCRS credit. Adult learners and community college transfers make up a big part of the online student base.
For transfer applicants, SAT and ACT scores are generally not the focus. Champlain College Online looks more closely at college transcripts, GPA, and completed coursework. First-time freshmen may have different requirements, but transfer students usually won’t be judged on test scores alone.
Yes, online students typically complete orientation before starting classes. Transfer students usually get a version that covers advising, technology, and course access. It’s online, so you don’t need to travel to Burlington for it.
Champlain College Online is the online division of Champlain College, while the main campus in Burlington is residential. The online programs themselves are delivered remotely, so dorms don’t matter for those students. The Burlington campus does have housing for traditional undergraduates.
Champlain College Online offers institutional aid, and some students qualify for transfer scholarships or employer-based tuition benefits. Availability changes by program and enrollment status, so you’ll want to check with financial aid before you commit. Transfer students can usually be considered, but the award amounts depend on your academic record and degree plan.
Most students finish a single course in 2–4 weeks studying a few hours per day. There are no deadlines. You can go faster if you already know the material, or spread it out over a couple of months if you're working full-time. The self-paced format means your schedule decides the timeline, not a semester calendar.
ACE (American Council on Education) and NCCRS (National College Credit Recommendation Service) are organizations that evaluate non-traditional coursework and recommend it for college credit. They're the same bodies that evaluate military training and CLEP exams. Over 2,100 US universities have policies to accept credits from ACE/NCCRS-evaluated sources. The recommendation doesn't automatically mean a specific university will take every course — each registrar evaluates independently — but it's the standard credential for this type of transfer.
Once you pass a course, you can request an official transcript through the UPI Study portal. Transcripts are processed within a few business days and sent directly to your university's registrar, or provided as a PDF for you to submit yourself. The transcript lists completed courses, credit hours, grades, and the ACE/NCCRS recommendation reference.
