College Credit Plus / High School Dual Enrollment

Did you participate in College Credit Plus (CCP) or high school dual-enrollment program? Whether you took the course in high school or on a college campus, your coursework likely appears on a college transcript.

Your high school counselor can confirm which college or university offered your course. You will then need to request your transcript directly from that institution. If you have taken courses at more than one college or university, an official transcript will be required from each one.

Why should I create a username and password for the Transfer Credit Evaluation?

By creating a username and password for our transfer credit evaluation tool, you'll be able to save your work and return to your degree audit later. If you don't create a username and password, you'll need to download a PDF to save and print for future reference.

Please note: This username and password is separate from your UD Admission Account login or the official UD login that you use to access Porches.

Your transfer credit evaluation username and password cannot be reset. If you forget your password, you can create a new account.

Is the credit evaluation official?

The audit available through the transfer credit evaluation tool is a preliminary credit audit to help you plan your path to a UD degree. Once you're enrolled at UD, you'll need to request your final transcripts and test scores to be sent to UD for the credits to be applied to your record. 

Will my advisor receive a copy of the transfer credit audit?

No. We encourage you to download the audit and share it with your advisor.

My school or course isn't listed. What should I do?

Our database is continuously expanding. If you see a "No Equivalent" message with "Contact us for a course review" as the reason, please complete the transfer credit inquiry form and provide the school and course review. Our transfer credit office will research the course so it can be added to our database.
