Crest Point University and UPI Study: A New Pathway for Smarter Credit Transfers

The two institutions have established a formal credit transfer partnership, ensuring that coursework completed through UPI Study can now count directly toward degrees at Crest Point University. The agreement, finalized in May 2025, recognizes UPI Study’s ACE- and NCCRS-approved courses, making it easier for students to continue their education in the United States without starting over.
