International Credit

Transfer Credits from sources other than Regionally Accredited Institutions of Higher Education

Credentials and credits from non-U.S. colleges must be evaluated by a recognized agency prior to review by Charter Oak. The College requires a course-by-course assessment in order to perform a transfer credit evaluation. Charter Oak recognizes the following agencies: Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) and World Education Services (WES). Institutions awarding credits outside the U.S. must be deemed to have the equivalent of U.S. regional accreditation in order for the credits to be transferable. If the rigor and content of the courses cannot be easily determined by the evaluator, the student may have to provide additional materials (syllabi, etc.) in order to have the course(s) appropriately evaluated for transfer. If a student has their credentials evaluated by more than one service, only one evaluation can be submitted and reviewed for transfer credit. In all cases, a student must earn a minimum of 30 U.S. credits for a bachelor's degree or 15 credits for an associate degree.
