Accreditation is the act of granting credit or recognition, by a governing body, of an educational institution. Accreditation is necessary to any educational institution to prove they are maintaining suitable standards or quality.
CWI relies on the following accrediting associations standards to evaluate and accept academic college-level credits and grades earned by transfer students:
If you transfer credit from an institution that operates on a quarter credit system, your credit hours will be converted to semester credits. For example, a three-credit course on the quarter system will transfer as two credits to a semester system. If a course has been evaluated as equivalent, you will not need to repeat it to make up deficiencies in credit. You will, however, be responsible for earning the minimum total hours required for graduation.
The Transfer Equivalency System (TES) is intended to be used as an unofficial guide to assist prospective students in reviewing course transferability. Official transferability decisions are ultimately made by CWI upon admission to the College and receipt of official transcripts.
Credit from foreign institutions must be evaluated by a professional transcript evaluation service before transfer credit will be reviewed. You will need to select a professional transcript evaluation service and pay the cost of evaluation.
