The College Achievement Program (CAP) is a cooperative program between the University of Southern Indiana and participating high schools. CAP allows highly motivated high school junior and senior students to take regular college courses in their own high schools at a reduced rate of tuition. CAP courses are taught by carefully selected high school faculty who are trained in special workshops by USI faculty members.

If you have taken any course work that could be considered for transfer credit—university level/dual credit courses, Advanced Placement (AP) or CLEP—please be advised that this could alter the courses you will want to register for. We strongly recommend that you contact Mary Branson, mbranson@usi.edu, or 800.467.1965 to verify whether your work is indeed eligible for transfer credit.
