ACADEMIC PROGRAMS & TRANSFER POLICY

Crestpoint University offers programs leading to:

All programs consist of highly interactive structured courses.

To facilitate the ability of students with college credits to earn their certificates or degrees in an expeditious and efficient manner, Crestpoint accepts certain transfer credits earned in pursuit of a degree from colleges and universities accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education or a foreign equivalent.

Crestpoint accepts transfer credits that are recommended for credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) or the Connecticut Credit Assessment Program (CCAP), provided that transfer credit from noncollegiate sources may not constitute more than 25% of the student's program's credit requirements. For example, a student seeking an associate's degree in paralegal studies requires 60 credits in all, and so may transfer a maximum of 15 credits towards that degree from noncollegiate sources. In addition, transfer credit from noncollegiate sources may not replace a core course in any academic program. For example, a "Torts" course from a noncollegiate source may not be used to replace the "Torts and Personal Injury" core course requirement for Crestpoint's paralegal certificate, Associate in Paralegal Studies and Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies programs. For this purpose, "noncollegiate sources" means credit for any course not provided on the transcript of a college or university accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education or foreign equivalent.

For details on Crestpoint’s transfer credit policy, including those that apply to each program, please see the Crestpoint school catalog. If a student wishes to transfer from Crestpoint to another institution, the extent to which such institution will accept Crestpoint credits is determined by the receiving institution.

Crestpoint uses the Voice Proctor system for exam security. Voice Proctor uses voice biometrics to ensure that the person taking the exam is the student who has registered for the course. This system protects Crestpoint's academic integrity while allowing students to take exams at the time and location of their convenience, without being in front of a camera.
