We know timing is everything when it comes to school, and sometimes you need to step back and take a break. If you’re returning to CIAT after some time off, you’ll need to reach out to your academic advisor to see how to pick up where you left off.
Transferring to CIAT is easier than ever. Simply submit your transcripts to have them reviewed for credits you’ve earned at other colleges and universities. We’ll also take into account any military training and professional experience you’ve acquired. And remember, you’re not alone in this journey. Our academic advisors are always ready to help out.
