DCB catalog 2020-22

General Information 47 Transfer of Credit from DCB Transfer of credit is always determined by the institution to which the student plans to transfer. Therefore, students need to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the college or university to which they plan to transfer. Students who intend to transfer from DCB are strongly advised to meet with their advisor to assure their program of study at DCB is suitable for transfer to a four-year university. Students who encounter problems with transfer of DCB credits to another institution should contact the DCB Registrar at 701-228-5669 or dcb.registrar@dakotacollege.edu . Military Credit Basic training courses are accepted in transfer as HPER 100 Concepts of Wellness and Fitness (2 semester credits) and meet the Wellness category of the DCB general education requirements. Eligible students must submit documentation of successful completion of basic training for evaluation. The North Dakota University System (NDUS) has included more than 130 military training courses in their General Education Requirement Transfer Agreement (GERTA). Students who have completed the included military courses will be able to transfer their military education to categories such as arts and humanities, communications, science, mathematics, social science, and technology. All other military credit is evaluated using the most recent American Council on Education (ACE) guidelines. Credit may be awarded for those courses that are equivalent to courses offered at DCB. Transcripts Transcripts are termed either official or unofficial. Official transcripts bear the seal of the College and are issued in a sealed envelope. Official transcripts become unofficial transcripts once the sealed envelope is opened. Unofficial transcripts are marked as such. Students enrolled after the fall of 2001 can print unofficial transcripts anytime via the Campus Connection link on the DCB’s website. To comply with privacy laws, the College requires all transcript requests to be in writing. There may be conditions such as unmet financial or academic obligations under which transcripts will be withheld. Transcripts may be ordered online at: https://www.parchment.com/order/ Although an attempt is made to process transcripts on the same day a request is received, those who request transcripts should allow for a processing time of five business days. Faxed transcripts are not official; transcripts will not be emailed. A summary of credits accepted from other institutions appears on the official DCB transcript. Transfer courses are not listed and grades and grade point averages of transfer credits are not included in the cumulative GPA. The exception to this policy is for collaborative students whose cumulative grade point average will include grades from transfer collaborative courses.
