The importance of accreditation!

All of the colleges and universities of the University System of New Hampshire and the Community College System of New Hampshire are fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Attending an accredited college is very important because it means:

Quality. Curriculum and instruction are carefully reviewed to assure high quality.

Financial Aid Eligibility. Only accredited institutions may provide a full range of financial aid programs.

Transferability. Course credits may be transferred from an accredited institution to other

colleges and universities.

Graduate School. Graduating from an accredited four year institution makes you eligible to go on and complete a graduate program at another institution.

Definitions of terms

Transfer is the procedure by which course credits earned at one institution are accepted toward a degree at another.

Articulation refers to institution or system policies or formal agreements by which transfer credits are accepted. In New Hampshire, transfer articulation is an initiative to create academic program agreements so that successful transfer can occur between community colleges and four-year institutions.

The transfer articulation matrix developed by CCSNH and USNH provides a "snapshot" of academic programs which have established transfer agreements. The two NH public higher education systems work together to establish these agreements to increase access, decrease course redundancy, and facilitate opportunities for all qualified students to complete their higher education goals. The matrix helps students to identify the NH institutions and programs which have transfer agreements, so they can maximize transfer of credits as they move between the different higher education sectors.

Because of frequent changes, complete and up-to-date information should be obtained directly from the academic advisors at the institution to which the student plans to transfer.
