Sample CAP Statement for Inclusion in High School Syllabus
Students may choose to enroll in USI’s College Achievement Program, CAP, to earn college
credit for Social Work 224, Introduction to Social Justice, from USI at a reduced rate of tuition
($80 per credit hour or $240 total). Students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch this
academic year may enroll at no charge by indicating eligibility on the online CAP application.
Social Work (SOCW) 224 is a three credit hour course that is highly transferable. To enroll in
CAP, students should have at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale, but additional criteria apply for
Social Work 224. Ask your instructor for further details. If all criteria are met, complete the
application and registration process before the given deadline. USI will bill students at their
home; no money should be submitted to the high school. College credit can only be earned
during the semester (or, in the case of year-long courses, during the academic year) in which
the student is enrolled. Students must abide by the given deadlines to enroll for USI credit.
Whether college credit earned through dual or concurrent credit courses will be accepted by
another institution of higher education is determined by the college or university to which a
student is seeking admission. Each college/university evaluates transfer courses based upon
their specific curriculum requirements and the student’s intended major. From time to time
curriculum requirements change which means the acceptance of transfer courses may change.
A student wanting to transfer credit to a specific college or university should check directly with
that institution (their registrar’s office, office of admissions, or academic school of a student’s
intended major) to determine if a course will be accepted and how it will be counted toward
graduation requirements.
Students who plan to attend a public Indiana institution can visit the Core Transfer Library, or
CTL, (http://www.transferin.net/CTL.aspx) to see how various USI/CAP classes will transfer
around the state. Although Social Work 224 is not part of the CTL, it still has a high likelihood of
transferring to many public and private institutions.
In most cases, students will need to earn a C or better to transfer credit from USI to another
institution. Grades of D or lower earned in CAP courses are recorded on a student’s USI
transcript but may not be able to transfer.
It is the student’s responsibility to determine transferability of USI credits before enrolling in CAP
courses. Refunds will not be issued if USI credits are not able to be transferred.
