University credit fees are included in the price listed in the catalog when enrolling from this page.  If enrolling from a different page the cost is $50 per credit, plus a $10 processing fee, payable to CE Credits Online.

Step 1: Initiating Your University Credit Request
CE Credits Online is the course provider and Valley City State University is the accrediting institution. The VCSU Office of Extended Learning issues the university credit, at a cost of $50 per credit. Upon completion of your course, you have two weeks to apply for VCSU university credit. Once CE Credits Online has verified that all your coursework is completed and approved, and we have received the credit fees, and any other fees, your completion paperwork will be sent to Valley City State University for processing at the end of each month. The processing of your credits can take up to 6-8 weeks from the time of your request.

Step 2: Confirming Your VCSU University Credit Request Has Been Processed
It can take VCSU 4 to 6 weeks to process your request once they have received it. You will know that you have been processed by logging on to CampusConnection and printing a free unofficial transcript.
