Students Transferring in Credit
Official transcripts are critical if you are transferring from other colleges. Be sure to follow these steps for having prior credit evaluated for potential transfer to Del Mar College:
- Students transferring in credit will be required to complete a Transfer Evaluation Request Form (TERF) and submit the form to the Registrar's Office. The form can be accessed on the Transcripts section of the Del Mar College website (https://www.delmar.edu/transcripts).
- Once all of your official transfer transcripts have been received by the Student Enrollment Center, the evaluation request will be processed. To ensure proper advising and course selection, submit your transcripts as early as possible. You will be notified via your Del Mar College email account once your request has been completed. It is highly encouraged to submit your admission documentation as soon as possible to ensure timely evaluation.
Be aware that even though a course transfers to a specific institution from Del Mar College, if the course was taken elsewhere, it may not transfer and would not count as a Del Mar College credit. This is especially true for courses taken at private institutions and when semester credit hours differ. Students may be required to resubmit transcripts if their records have exceeded retention guidelines.
