The University of Delaware accepts college-level credits from institutions that are fully accredited by an appropriate regional accrediting association. Credits for college-level courses must be completed with a grade of "C" (2.0) or higher and be applicable to a degree program offered by the University. Approved transfer coursework is universally accepted across all Colleges within the University. The University of Delaware uses the following formula to convert quarter hours to semester hours: quarter hours x 2/3 (or .667) = semester hours.
Except for approved Connected Degree Programs, transfer credits from community colleges are generally accepted as equivalent to lower-division (100-200 level) coursework at the University of Delaware. The Assistant Dean's Office within the admitted student's College will make the final determination of how transfer credits apply to the student's degree program and graduation requirements. Departments may require applicants to repeat outdated courses and/or course work completed more than seven calendar years earlier.
A special agreement between Delaware Technical & Community College, Delaware State University, and the University of Delaware guarantees transferability of certain courses among the three institutions.
