UVI will review unofficial transcripts to evaluate prospective students in order to
facilitate the enrollment process. An Evaluation Specialist will review transcript(s) to advise the students on the number of courses and credits that will transfer into UVI, and how many courses and credits will be needed for degree completion.

Have you considered that you might have life experience that can be used for college credit?  Your experiences as a manager, mentor, or volunteer could earn you college credit. To hear more about earning credit for prior learning experience contact us at creditforlife@uvi.edu.
