FAQs

Q. I’ve completed some high school, can I transfer my credits?
A. High school credits don’t expire, so as long as you can get a copy of your transcript, you can transfer previous high school credits towards earning your high school diploma! USCI allows students to transfer up to 18 eligible credits. All students have 75 days to submit their previous transcript after enrollment for credits to be considered. Some students attend 9th grade in a junior high program, if this is the case for you, make sure to include your junior high transcript to ensure that credits are applied and you are not required to complete duplicate work.
