Transcripts

All information in the student’s record folder is considered confidential and is released only after proper authorization. Danville Area Community College will issue official transcripts of academic records only upon written authorization from the student. Official transcripts will be mailed or sent electronically directly to other educational institutions upon written request by the student. Copies are $7.50 for each copy.

Transferring Credit From DACC

Universities and colleges prescribe their own standards of eligibility for admissions with advanced standing. In general, a student may transfer from a community college to a senior college or university after one or more semesters of community college work, provided that their scholastic average is C or above. (Some universities will not accept a course grade of D.)

It is urged that students determine early in their academic career the school to which they plan to transfer. A careful check should be made of admission and transfer requirements at the desired university. Some institutions have a maximum number of credits completed threshold that students cannot go over. It is highly recommended that a student complete an Associate in Science (AS) or an Associate in Arts (AA), Associate of Engineering Science (AES), Associate in Fine Arts in Art (AFA) and Associate in Fine Arts in Art Education (AFAE) degree before transferring to a senior college or university. Career-oriented courses are not designed primarily for transfer. Transfer of such courses will depend upon the policy of the school to which the student is transferring. A few of our career programs are articulated to a 2+2 or 3+1 program with another college/university.

As a community college, one of our main goals is to ensure that our courses prepare students to transfer to senior institutions. With this in mind, the College follows the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) regulations and has developed courses and transfer degrees that are based on the State’s Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) general education core curriculum. IAI is a statewide transfer agreement, which is transferable among more than 100 participating colleges and universities in Illinois.

Transferology.com

DACC promotes and utilizes Transferology.com. Transferology is a nation-wide network designed to help students explore their college transfer options. The goal is to save students time and money by providing a quick, intuitive way of getting their college transfer credit questions answered. Students can answer the question, “Will my courses transfer?” by adding coursework, exams, and/or military learning experiences to see how many schools in the Transferology network have matching courses that may be awarded when they transfer. Students may also find out their options for taking classes over the summer (or whenever) at another school to transfer back to their current school by using the “Find a Replacement Course” feature.
