Transfer Credit Information

The Department of History assigns a UD equivalent for only HISTORY courses, or for courses taken in other fields such as Art History, Political Science, Anthropology, etc., which contents are similar to the course offerings by the History Department. Students may obtain approval for transfer credit either before or after the course has been taken. For approval, you will need to gather and submit the following materials.

Transfer Credit for Courses Already Taken

1. Transfer credit evaluation form: This form is available at Student Services or from the History Department. You are to fill in all the necessary information EXCEPT for the equivalent UD course. If you are expecting transfer credit for a particular UD course, identify the course by number and name on a separate sheet of paper.

2. Course description: A photocopy of the course description in its official catalogue. Identify the university which offered the course. If it is available on-line, you can submit a print-out of this.

3. Course syllabus: This is not required, but it can determine whether or not a specific course equivalent gets approved.

4. Contact information: On a separate sheet list on it your name, local phone number, and e-mail address.

Approval Process

• Materials should be placed in an envelope and addressed to:
  Professor Anne Boylan
  Undergraduate Chair, History

• Deliver the envelope to:
  Main office
  Department of History
  236 Munroe Hall

The transfer process usually takes two or three days. The student will be notified by e-mail when the request has been approved or if additional information is required. Approved requests will be left at the main desk of the History Department. Should the student receive no notification, he/she should inquire. Be sure to retain photocopies of all materials submitted in case the original request should miscarry. After course has been evaluated and the form signed by Dr. Boylan, you must take it to Elliott Hall for signature and then to Student Services.

Should you have any questions about your course or your request, you may schedule a meeting with the Undergraduate Studies Chair. This can be done by e-mailing to aboylan@udel.edu or calling (302) 831-2188. You should not expect approval during this meeting.
