How will my credits transfer?

Generally, a course taken at a regionally accredited college or university, in which the content and depth is similar to a course taught at Dana, will be accepted for transfer.

  • Dana will accept up to 64 semester hours of college credit for students transferring from community colleges. We will also accept up to 96 semester hours of college credit from four-year colleges, or from a combination of community and four-year colleges, respectively. Either way, you must complete the final 32 semester hours of our 128-semester-hour degree requirement at Dana (a minimum of 15 semester hours of this must be taken in your major field of study).
  • Courses with grades below “C-” will not satisfy general education or major requirements. Grades of “D” are transferable within the first 64 semester hours if you have an Associate of Arts and/or Associate of Science degree. Grades for credit accepted in transfer are compiled separately on your Dana transcript. Upon graduation from Dana, your final transcript will reflect both the transfer GPA and the Dana GPA, with a cumulative computation of the two GPAs.
  • An Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree will confer junior status upon you.
  • Credit transfer is determined on an individual basis by the Dana College Registrar. You will receive a transcript evaluation upon your acceptance to Dana. Transfer credit evaluations will not reflect courses in progress.
