Students transferring to Dallas College from other institutions of higher education must submit official transcripts from all U.S. (and U.S. territories) institutions attended, to the Dallas College Admissions Office. Transcripts must be no older than three years from the date the transcript was printed to comply with the state records and retention law, established by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Students seeking admission after having not attended for a year or longer must also submit a new official transcript.
Credit for courses in which a passing grade (“D” or better) has been earned may be transferred to Dallas College from:
- Nationally and regionally accredited institutions.
It shall be the student’s responsibility to provide all transcripts and documents necessary to evaluate any prior educational experience.
- Students who complete coursework at colleges and universities outside the United States will be considered on a cases-by-case basis. All foreign credentials submitted to Dallas College must include the original plus a certified English translation. An official evaluation of foreign credentials must be completed before transfer credit can be granted. The student is responsible for arranging for credential evaluation. A list of acceptable professional evaluation services is available in the catalog or the Office of the Registrar. A student is expected to pay all costs of translation and/or evaluation of foreign credentials.
- Credits earned through other education programs, such as credit by examination, military experience are reviewed by the Registrar and may be granted if applicable.
Official transcript evaluators who provide service to the campuses will complete course-by-course evaluations as needed for degree or program planning. Dallas College will inform transfer students of the amount of credit that will transfer prior to the end of the first academic term in which they are enrolled. Once the student has been notified that the credits have been evaluated, the student may look at the results on eConnect. To access eConnect, visit http://econnect.dcccd.edu/.
Effective March 2013, lower-level transfer credits from other institutions are included on the official academic transcript. Official transcripts from all higher education institutions must be on file in the Admissions and Student Records/Registrar’s Office. Generally, Dallas College will not accept junior and senior level coursework as transfer credit unless there is an approved articulation agreement with the specific four-year college or university.
You must submit to the Admissions Office all official transcripts from all higher education institutions before an evaluation can take place. Any questions concerning the validity of the document(s) will result in a need to have an official transcript(s) sent directly from the other institution(s) to the Admissions and Student Records/Registrar’s Office.
