All USP students must CODO (or transfer) from USP to one of Purdue's 12 colleges and schools in order to earn their degree. The amount of time a student can remain in USP depends on how the student came to USP.

• Students who begin their college career as freshmen in USP can remain in USP for up to four semesters (not including summer school).

• Students who come to USP from another college/school at Purdue or as a readmit, reentry, or transfer student can take a maximum of 60 credits while in USP or 95 total college credits, whichever occurs first and is the more limiting. Credits by exam, transfer credits, Advanced Placement/CEEB credits, etc. all count toward a student's total credits. All credits a student attempts while in USP count toward the total number of credits the student can take as a USP student.
