Transfer Disputes

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) has established the following procedures for Del Mar College to resolve transfer disputes involving lower division courses:

  • If Del Mar College does not accept course credit earned by you at another institution of higher education, Del Mar College will give written notice to you and the other institution that the transfer of the course credit is denied.
  • The two institutions and you shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines.
  • If the transfer dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction or to the satisfaction of the institution at which the credit was earned, within 45 days after the date you received written notice of the denial, Del Mar College will notify the commissioner of the THECB of its denial and the reason for the denial.

The commissioner of higher education, or the commissioner's designee, will make the final determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice to you and the institutions.

You may consult with the College's Vice President and Chief Academic Officer throughout this process.
