CREDITS

Receiving School Credits at your University:   Most CA students have received 3 or 6 credits at their University for their work at the Compostela Institute the following semester. In the case of received credits, you will be allowed to waive a course, which will save you tuition money on that course (which can be equal to or more than the CA Institute tuition fee). Each school will determine the number of credits, based on the quality of your Compostela Institute summer portfolio. CA Institute does not guarantee school credits, since the decision is made by each institution based on the work you present, but students' success rate in the past has been high.
