There were a lot of things in this course that I learned that I wouldn't have thought or known about. A big thing I learned was the importance of saving. After taking this class, I am much more aware of how I spend my money and I will make sure to budget properly and plan ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will UNI credits transfer to my college of choice?

College credit will transfer directly for a course if the college/university offers a similar course. If not, the credits will transfer as elective credit. Check with your college for a definitive answer.

What is the refund policy for the exam?

Refunds are not available for payments related to the for-credit exam.

How do I obtain a transcript from UNI?

All students who pass the exam and need to complete a non-degree application. Instructions on completing a non-degree application are sent to students immediately after they pass the exam. Students will use the CATID password generated during this process to request a transcript.

Can I get a waiver for the exam?

All students who are on the free-and-reduced lunch program may take the exam for free. Students will need to complete the exam registration and download the waiver, which needs to be signed by a school official.
