Transfer of Credit

If you seek to have credits from another institution accepted by the Department of English at UD, first determine your situation from the options below. Please visit the University Transfer Center website for instructions on transferring non-English coursework.

ENGL110 Critical Reading and Writing is a required course of all undergraduate students at the University. 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 class must be a rhetoric/writing and composition course studying non-literary sources.

Please send all required materials to 110transferexemption@udel.edu.

Attach to one email the following (do not embed your materials into the email or attach anything other than in the format requested):

1. Course in the school's catalogue: Copy and paste the course in question from the course catalogue into a Word document with the institution's name identified.
   
   
2. A PDF or Word document of the course syllabus (not a generic course syllabus but the one from your specific course). If you don't have it, write to your instructor and get a copy.
   
   
3. A PDF of your UDSIS transcript showing that the course in question is on the transcript as having transferred for credits (which should appear as either ENGL166T or ADMN166T). An Unofficial Transcript would be the document of choice to attach to your email; please click on this link and follow the directions on the page: http://www.udel.edu/registrar/transcripts/unofficial.html.
   
   

Please note: We will process only those submissions that contain these specified attachments.

In your email, please provide:

1. Your full name, student ID number, date of birth, college, and major here at UD.

2. A brief statement explaining why you believe the course should transfer and exempt you from taking ENGL110.
   

Due to the large number of requests and the amount of materials to be assembled and reviewed, please allow at least four weeks for a response.

The English Department assigns a UD equivalent for English courses or for courses similar to those offered in the UD English Department (such as theater or film).

To establish equivalency for a course already transferred, bring in or send via e-mail to Professor Miller the following materials:

1. A photocopy of the course description in its official catalogue. Identify the university that offered the course. If it is available online, you can submit a printout of this or send the link via e-mail.

2. A separate sheet (or provide the information in your e-mail message) with your name, student ID number, local phone number, and e-mail address.

Before you take the course, contact the University of Delaware Transfer Center located in the Student Services Building. If the course you wish to take is not in the Matrix, someone there will give you the contact information of the appropriate person from whom to obtain approval.
