Credit Transfer

Receive Credits That Count

HECUA's programs provide upper-level credits (junior- and senior-level credits). All students from HECUA consortium institutions receive at the very least "blanket credit," or sixteen credits toward graduation. Most students report to HECUA that they also obtain significant major and minor credits for participating in HECUA programs. As is true for most off-campus study programs, students should work directly with their home institution to receive credit toward a major, or credit toward another graduation requirement. Other requirements might be "general education" requirements, "liberal education" requirements, or distribution requirements. Experienced HECUA staff are available to assist students in negotiating meaningful credit transfer.

Here To Help

To assist students in negotiating credits with advisors and registrars on campus, HECUA has compiled information on how recent participants in each program have received major credit from their home institutions. See that information on the "Credits" tab on the page for each program on this site.

In addition, HECUA's Director of Programs, Sarah Pradt, is always available for more information on credit transfer and for personalized assistance with students' individual situations. Email or call her at 651-287-3307.
