Dear Undergraduate Student,

Welcome to Duke!

I understand that you may have college credit earned elsewhere to transfer to Duke. Managing transfer credit for students enrolled in the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences is one of my responsibilities. Transfer credit for Pratt School of Engineering is managed by Connie Simmons, Pratt School of Engineering, 305 Teer Engineering Library, Box 90271, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0271, 919-660-5387, csimmons@duke.edu.

Duke policy requires that a student provide the following documentation to transfer college-level work completed prior to high school graduation:

1. Transcripts:
   An official transcript bearing the Registrar's seal or its equivalent from the college or university sent directly to me or to Ms. Simmons (Engineering Students).

2. Course Descriptions:
   Detailed course descriptions or syllabi for all courses taken to enable course evaluation.

3. College Confirmation:
   Confirmation from the college or university that the courses were,
       a) taught on the campus,
       b) by a regular member of the faculty,
       c) taken in competition with degree candidates of that institution, and
       d) a regular part of the curriculum of the institution.
   Provide the form prematriccollege.pdf for completion by the school.

4. High School Confirmation:
   Confirmation from the high school principal or guidance counselor that the course(s) were not used to satisfy high school graduation requirements and specifying that the course(s) do not appear for credit on the high school transcript.
   Provide the form prematrichs.pdf for completion by the school.

Please be aware of these additional rules:

• English Composition courses DO NOT TRANSFER for students beginning their degree work (Duke's University Writing Course is required of all students).
• Mathematics courses below calculus DO NOT TRANSFER; calculus courses must be at the Duke level to transfer.
• Courses taken prior to the commencement of the junior year of high school DO NOT TRANSFER, nor do courses taken by correspondence.
• A maximum of two courses taken by extension may transfer.

Please send all of the above documentation to the Office of the University Registrar, Duke University, Box 90054, Durham, NC, 27708-0054. If you need further clarification or assistance, contact us at the above phone number or email address.

Sincerely,
Harry Nelson,
Assistant University Registrar - Transfer Credit Officer
