What is the add/drop policy for UCAP classes?
UCAP offers a very flexible ADD/DROP policy to accommodate
the working adult student. Students needing to adjust
their schedules after registering for classes incur a
$15.00 change fee. Due to the rapid nature of our curriculum,
students should make all schedule changes at least 1 week
in advance of the class start date. Tuition refunds for
dropped courses are available, based on how many times
the class has met in that given session. Course additions
must be cleared with an academic advisor. |

How many credits can I transfer?
UCAP will accept up to 64 credit hours from a community
college and an unlimited number of credits can be transferred
from a 4 year institution. IN order for courses to transfer,
the student must have earned the grade of a "C"
or higher for all transfer credits. Students must complete
half their major in UCAP including 43 residency hours.
Each student is issued an official degree plan that will
indicate transfer course credits, equivalencies and remaining
courses until graduation . |

How can I get credit for work/life experience?
Students may pursue alternative credit options such as
Test-Outs, CLEP exams, Prior Learning and Work-Related
Portfolios as appropriate. Students are encouraged to
meet with a UCAP advisor to discuss these options. Generally,
the following procedures apply:
- Students interested in Test-Out and/or CLEP
exams must verify their options with their advisor.
The test-outs are coordinated by the Academic
Support and Disabilities Office (440-449-2049)
while CLEP exams are coordinated by the Office
of Alternative Credit Options (440-684-6080).
Students should register for them during open
registration periods one semester in advance.
- Prior-Learning and Work-Related Portfolios
are best approached by meeting first with Dyann
Whaley, Coordinator of Alternative Credit Options.
Her number is (440) 684-6080. She has materials
and guidelines that will help students with
this process.
