Registration & Advisement

Evaluation Process of Coursework from Other Colleges/Universities

    Danville Area Community College accepts 100-level and 200-level coursework from other postsecondary institutions who have been accredited by approved national, regional, and professional accrediting bodies. Accreditation shows that the institutions have been evaluated by recognized accrediters and are determined by their peers, to meet acceptable levels of educational quality.

    As part of the DACC application process, students are asked to send "official" transcripts from all institutions previously attended. Once the transcript is received by the DACC Records Office, the transcript is evaluated for general education credit. After the evaluation has been completed, the student will be notified of the results. The evaluation will specify what the transferred course work equated to at Danville Area Community College.

    If a student wants career-oriented (vocational) coursework to be evaluated, the student should contact the Records Office in Vermillion Hall to make the request. We will need to know the student's specific major at that time.

    Not more than forty-five credit hours will be accepted by transfer. The accepted coursework will also appear on the student's DACC transcript. Only credit hours are noted on the DACC transcript. Grades are not figured into the student's DACC cumulative grade point average. However, if a student is a candidate for Summa Cum Laude honors at commencement, grades will be considered for any coursework that is used for degree completion.
