| Advanced Standing |
| NDSCS recognizes off-campus learning experiences and translates these experiences into college credit where appropriate. Application for advanced standing should be made to the director of Enrollment Services, who will process the credentials offered. Advanced standing may be obtained through the following methods: |
| Credits received at other recognized educational institutions - Credits earned at other colleges are acceptable in transfer as they apply to the particular curriculum pursued. An official transcript from the institution(s) attended must be presented. No problem in transferring is likely if the work presented from the initial college attended is satisfactory. |
| Admission of transfer students - A decision concerning the acceptance of transfer students will not be made until an official transcript has been received from the institution the student previously attended. No problem in transferring is likely if the work presented from the initial college attended is satisfactory. |
| Transfer students must meet assessment criteria unless previous college records indicate satisfactory completion of first-year college English and math courses with a grade of ‘C’ or better. |
| Transfer students suspended from other institutions will not be permitted to enroll in the liberal arts programs until the same conditions are met as the suspending institution would demand to reinstate the students. Students who are suspended for scholastic reasons may be considered for enrollment in the career programs if all other conditions are acceptable. |
| NDSCS will transcript all coursework with the exception of "W" courses from all accredited institutions previously attended. |
| |
| Credit by articulation agreement - Students enrolled in secondary schools that have an articulation agreement with NDSCS may utilize the processes to receive college credit. The grade earned may be recorded on the transcript as an articulated course with either a satisfactory or a letter grade. Articulation agreements provide an opportunity for post-secondary credit based on competencies acquired while in high school. For further information, contact Enrollment Services. |
| Students scoring satisfactorily on the general examinations or the subject examinations of the College-Level Examinations Program (CLEP) may receive college credit as follows: |
| General examinations - A maximum of 32 semester credits may be awarded for all five examinations (English composition, humanities, mathematics, natural sciences and social sciences). A grade of 50 percent or more is required to receive credit. |
| Subject examinations - At the option of the division offering the course, a maximum of four semester credits may be awarded for each subject examination. |
| Credit for military service experiences - Enrolled students who have earned additional or college level work for credit in a United States Armed Forces Institute program may request their scores be presented to the Enrollment Services office. The credit will be evaluated by the director of Enrollment Services using the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Credit will be allowed only for those courses equivalent to those offered at NDSCS. |
| No cost is assessed for this service. |
