Interested in transferring with fewer obstacles while saving time and money and most importantly – your credits? Ask an academic advisor at your current institution about Interstate Passport, which offers:

• An early milestone of completion on the way to a credential
• Assurance that lower-division general education learning will be recognized upon transfer to another Network-member institution
• The potential for faster time to degree, lower cost, less debt, and maximization of previously earned credits

Students who transfer into CSP with a Passport from another member institution will not have to repeat or take additional courses to satisfy lower-division general education requirements.
