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 Chemistry 107, Elements in Everyday Chemistry, from USI at a reduced rate of tuition ($80 per credit hour or $320 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.
Chemistry 107 is a four credit hour course that meets USI’s general education requirements [Core 39 Natural Science with Lab (BA and BS)] and is highly transferable. This course is designed for non-science majors. To enroll in CAP, students should have at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale and 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, ( to see how various USI/CAP classes will transfer around the state. Chemistry 107 is listed under the CTL title of “Chemistry, Survey of.”
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.
