Accreditation (CHEA). The University also recognizes non-traditional education experiences,
including distance education, online courses, and alternative schooling programs approved

American Counsel and Education (ACE), the U.S.Department of Education (USDOE), Counsel for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), or institutions officially recognized within their national systems. Credentials,
official transcripts, or their equivalent must be provided as evidence of successful
completion and academic preparation. Some applicants may be asked to submit additional
information, including syllabi, recommendations, and course descriptions, especially
if seeking transfer credit.

transcripts. UVI uses a rolling admission system. Students ordinarily receive decision
about their application soon after their folders are complete.
