Transfer of Credit

All transfer credits taken before admittance to the University of Delaware must appear on your UD transcript before they are evaluated by an academic department. The UD Registrar's Office posts the transfer credits. If you don't see the transfer credits on your UD transcript, please contact the Registrar's Office at transfercredit@udel.edu
Once you have confirmed that the transferred English coursework is on your UD transcript, you have two options to request review of the credits:
Option 1: Evaluation request for transferred English course to equate as UD's ENGL 110: Seminar in Composition. See detailed Option 1 instructions listed below.
Option 2: Evaluation request to have transferred English course(s) equated to UD English courses other than ENGL 110. See detailed Option 2 instructions listed below.

Students who want to transfer new coursework taken after admittance to the University of Delaware see detailed Option 3 instructions listed below.

Students who want to have non-English transfer courses evaluated should follow the university instructions found on this Registrar's web page: http://www1.udel.edu/registrar/transfer/

Dual Enrollment Policy from The Composition Program for ENGL110.

In order to be considered for ENGL110 exemption a student must have taken a face-to-face college composition course or sequence of courses on a college campus with a college instructor. The course or courses must be equivalent in subject and rigor to the University of Delaware's ENGL110, Seminar in Composition. It is the policy of the Composition Program to deny dual enrollment credit from any high school whose teachers we have not trained in UD's writing and rhetoric pedagogy.

This policy also covers courses on UD's Matrix and the articulation agreements we have made with other institutions. Unless the course was taken with a college instructor and on the college campus listed on the Matrix, we will not exempt the student from ENGL110.

The only dual enrollment exemption we currently accept is from: Cab Calloway, Caravel Academy, Conrad School of Science, Indian River, Middletown, St. Mark's and Newark Charter. The students who take ENGL110 at these high schools are enrolled as UD students and learn under instructors that have enrolled in our graduate course, Composition and Theory Pedagogy course.

ENGL110 Seminar in Composition is a general required course of all undergraduate students at the University of Delaware. Transfer students who have taken a comparable course at another institution may apply for exemption from the ENGL110 requirement. Be sure the class is not a literature course. To qualify for exemption, the course must be a rhetoric/writing and composition course studying non-literary sources.

If the syllabus does not contain the prompts and you did not receive them on a separate handout, then please contact the institution's English department.
   
   
3. A PDF of your UD Unofficial Transcript showing that the course in question is on the transcript as having transferred for credits (which should appear as either ENGL166T or ADMN166T).  Incoming transfer students will not be able to access their UD transcript until after June 1st prior to the fall term.  Please do not apply for an ENGL110 transfer exemption review until that time.   Please click on this link and follow the directions on the page: http://www.udel.edu/registrar/transcripts/unofficial.html.

All transfer courses taken after admittance to the University of Delaware must be approved by UD before enrolling in the course(s) at another institution.
All approval requests start by you completing the university Transfer Credit Evaluation Form
Next, check to see if the course you're transferring is listed in UD's Transfer Credit Matrix, also known as the Transfer Matrix

If the course from the other institution is listed on the Transfer Credit Matrix, that means it has already been evaluated by UD and the UD equivalent course is listed. The transfer course will not be re-evaluated and will not be equated to a different UD English course.  You do not need to submit your evaluation to the English Department.  Instead, you sbmit it directly to the office of the Associate Dean in your College.

If the course from the other institution is not listed on UD's Transfer Credit Matrix, please submit your Transfer Credit Evaluation form, in person, to the English Associate Chair and include:
• Your name, student ID, local phone number, and UD e-mail address.
• A scanned copy of the course description in its official catalogue. Identify the university that is offering the course. If it is available online, you can submit a printout of this description.
