    Transcript Evaluation

    Once received by the College, your transcript will be evaluated by the Registrar's Office typically within 10 – 14 days.

    • Course descriptions from your transfer institution from the year you earned the credit(s) will be compared to the course descriptions at CWI.
    • Course equivalencies will be determined according to the College's procedures as directed by instructional leadership.
    • If a course is determined to be equivalent credit, the course will be recorded as a part of your academic record history and counted toward your credentials at CWI.
    • If your transcript indicates a previously earned a degree, your general education requirements (GEM courses) at CWI will be waived. Specific degree or certificate requirements will still need to be met. 

    Transferring from CWI

    CWI participates in Idaho’s Statewide Articulation and Associate Degree Policy. This means when you transfer your Associate of Arts or Science degree from CWI to a four-year public institution in Idaho, you will not be required to complete any additional, lower-division, general education classes. This policy is not intended to meet specific major requirements (e.g., engineering, pharmacy, business, etc.)
