Content Questions
To ensure your UPI Study courses transfer to your university, check two things:
1) Is your university listed? If it's one of the 1,500 universities listed with NCCRS, you're all set.
OR
2) Check your university's credit policy. If it says they accept credits from "regionally accredited" universities, you're good to go! As long as you meet one of these criteria, your courses should transfer without a hitch.
