Transfer of Credit Information

The Department of History assigns a UD equivalent for HISTORY courses only or for courses taken in other fields such as Humanities, Classics, Political Science or Anthropology for which there is substantial History content.

​For coursework taken prior to being admitted to UD, follow these instructions for transferring credit: Newly Admitted & Transfer Students - Transfer of Prior Coursework AND complete the History Course Equivalency Evaluation to obtain department approval.

For coursework taken after being admitted to UD, follow these instructions for transferring credit: UD Matriculated Students - Transfer Credits from a U.S. Institution.

For courses not found in the Transfer Matrix, see below for instructions on how to obtain “Departmental Course Review Approval”.

Students seeking to transfer credit from a non-UD Study Abroad or an International Institution must obtain pre-approval from the department where the equivalent course is housed. Follow these instructions for transferring credit: Transfer Credit from a non-UD Study Abroad or International Institution.

See below for instructions on how to obtain “Departmental Course Review Approval”

Note: This process should be completed prior to taking courses.

Requests for course review approval take up to 2-weeks complete, please allow enough time.  Email the following information to Prof. Jesus Cruz, Undergraduate Chair, History (jesus@udel.edu) for review:

• Name & UDID #
• Institution Name
• Term Abroad (if evaluation is for study abroad)
• Course Information:
• Course #, Title, Number of Credits (or whatever the school uses to identify the course)
• Official syllabi (web link, PDF, printed copy) or thorough description of topics or areas covered (as many details as possible)

Students will be emailed when the request has been processed; approved requests will be left for student pickup in the History Department office, 236 Munroe Hall. Be sure to retain copies of ALL materials submitted, including the signed TCE form.

Note: The History Department does not evaluate on-line History courses taken at other institutions for transfer credit equivalency. Such courses transfer to the University of Delaware as electives only.
