TRANSFERRING CREDITS 

      

Delaware State University will evaluate and accept credits that have been earned at regionally accredited institutions, that are college-level and have received a grade of “C” or better. Transfer credit will not be awarded to remedial level courses (below college level) from previous institutions. College course credits obtained within the last 10 years are not accepted automatically and will be at the discretion of the appropriate department. Courses to be transferred must be equivalent to respective DSU courses. Credits are evaluated according to the specific academic program to which the student is applying. Credit cannot be granted for correspondence courses. In cases where courses from other colleges or universities only partially fulfill general education requirements, students will need to make up the credit hours shortage in the same department. Preliminary credit evaluation is available upon request to AdmissionsDocs@desu.edu. In addition to transferable college credits, students may be eligible to receive transfer credits from the military, Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), CollegeLevel Examination Prep (CLEP) and Advanced Placement Scores sent through College Board.
