The ACE College CREDIT Recommendation Service
For decades, colleges and universities have trusted the American Council on Education (ACE) to provide reliable course equivalency information to facilitate credit award decisions. Participating organizations include corporations, professional and volunteer associations, schools, training suppliers, labor unions and government agencies, with courses from Arabic to Great Books.
Members of the CREDIT Network use the National Guide, the Military Guide, and transcripts to determine where your training may fit into degree programs; the structure of a degree program or departmental regulations may affect acceptance of CREDIT recommendations. (Ultimately, every college and university has the discretion to accept credit for CREDIT recommendations as they see fit, so be sure to contact the college where you intend to apply before starting the application process to find out their policies beforehand.)

From the Joint Statement on the Transfer and Award of Credit
by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and admissions Officers, the American Council on Education, and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
“Each Institution is responsible for determining its own policies and practices with regard to the transfer, acceptance, and award of credits. Institutions also have a responsibility to advise the student that the work reflected on the transcript may or may not be accepted by a receiving institution as bearing the same (or any) credits as those awarded by the provider institution, or that the credits awarded will be applicable to the academic credential the student is pursuing.”
There is no assurance nor guarantee that the Great Books Program will in the future maintain or renew its ACE affiliation or listing in the ACE College credit recommendation service National Guide, use of ACE transcript service, nor that ACE itself will continue its college CREDIT recommendation, transcript service or National Guide. Nevertheless, our Great Books Program was fully reviewed by ACE College credit recommendation service, and was recommended for 48 hours of college credit (6 per semester). The Great Books Program is a fixed program, meaning it does not substantially change because it is based on the great classics of Western Civilization.
In addition, we have entered into Agreements with the UOWC Participating Colleges in order to assure that those colleges and/or universities will accept our Great Books Program courses for college credit, according to the terms of those individual agreements. The very purpose of such agreements is to remove some or all of the ambiguity regarding credit transfer and acceptance policies between signatory educational institutions. If you are unclear about what credits they will accept, and for what degree programs, please ask and we will be happy clarify that for you.
