Transfer Credit for Undergraduate Students
Are you planning on traveling abroad this semester? Or are you
going home for the summer and want to take some courses at a local university? If so, here are some reminders
of what you need to do before you leave. Also, if you are an engineering student, you will need to contact
Connie Simmons, Pratt School of Engineering, 305 Teer Engineering Library,
Box 90271, 919-660-5387. If you have any questions give us a call at 684-2813.
If you are taking domestic transfer credit, there are
several steps that need to be completed:
- Pick up a "Tentative Approval of Courses" form from your Academic Dean.
- Assemble supporting documentation:
- an official description of the course(s) you propose to take
- a copy of the course schedule bulletin from the institution you will be attending that clearly
indicates the meeting times and days for the course, along with a copy of the academic calendar
- Secure approval of content by presenting the "Tentative Approval of Courses" form and the assembled
supporting documentation to the appropriate Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for his/her review. The
DUS will sign the form if the content of the course is deemed equivalent to a Duke course.
- Bring the "Tentative Approval of Courses" form, signed by the DUS, along with the supporting documentation,
to your academic dean's office. The dean will REVIEW your materials to insure that the course is
equivalent to a Duke "semester course credit" in terms of the number of "contact hours" and will specify
the amount of credit that can be transferred to Duke upon completion of the course. *When your academic
dean signs the "Tentative Approval of Courses" form, the pre-approval process will be complete.
- Complete the approved course(s) at the visited institution and arrange for an OFFICIAL copy of your
transcript to be sent directly to the Office of the University Registrar. (You must earn a C- or better to
receive Duke credit for work completed at another U.S. university. Your grade, however, will not be recorded
at Duke and will not be included in your GPA.)

needed go to Trinity T-Reqs.
