All HIWS courses are credit-bearing courses and are acknowledged at most universities and institutions. However, it is best that you consult appropriate academic officials at your home institution from the home university about the credit transferability before the program begins. It is student's responsibility and home university's right to consult and transfer the credits. Course syllabi and academic policy of HIWS including the grading system can be found on our official website. It is recommended to keep the course syllabus for your credit transfer.
