Graduate programs include a Master of Science. Most programs are designed for working adults who can complete them entirely online using transfer credit, prior learning credit, and Charter Oak courses.
Can military students use UPI Study credits at Charter Oak State College?
Yes. Charter Oak has a dedicated Military section in its catalog and is one of the most military-friendly colleges in the US. It accepts ACE-evaluated military training credits alongside the approved UPI Study credits. Military learners can combine military training ACE credits, CLEP, DSST, and the approved UPI Study courses toward a Charter Oak degree. The Cornerstone and Capstone courses must be taken at Charter Oak.
What is Charter Oak’s residency requirement?
Charter Oak requires that the Cornerstone course and Capstone course be taken directly at Charter Oak — these cannot be transferred in from any source. All other credit requirements can be fulfilled through transfer credit, prior learning, CLEP, DSST, or Charter Oak courses. This is one of the most flexible residency policies among US colleges.
Can I earn college credit without enrolling in a full degree program?
Yes. UPI Study allows you to take individual courses and earn ACE and NCCRS-recommended college credit completely independently — no university enrollment, no application, no admission process required. Complete the approved courses, get your official transcript, then submit it to Charter Oak’s Registrar for credit evaluation when you are ready to enroll.
How do I submit UPI Study transcripts to Charter Oak State College?
After completing UPI Study courses, request an official UPI Study transcript from your student dashboard. The transcript is submitted to Charter Oak State College’s Registrar office for evaluation. For the 6 approved courses, ensure the transcript clearly shows the numerical score (80% or higher) as required by the review team’s specifications. Contact Charter Oak’s Registrar for current transcript submission instructions.
How does UPI Study compare to community college for Charter Oak credit?
Community college typically costs $300–$600 per credit hour, requires fixed class schedules, and involves semester deadlines. UPI Study offers ACE & NCCRS-recommended credits from $42/month (US) or $250/course (international) with no deadlines, no fixed class times, and no campus required — perfectly aligned with Charter Oak’s adult-learner model.
What happens if I need to pause or cancel my UPI Study subscription?
