College Credit To Jump-Start Your DCCCD Program
Have you taken some college courses but haven't earned a degree or certificate yet?
The American Council on Education (ACE) has identified a pool of online courses (listed below) that the colleges of Dallas County Community College District will accept toward your degree. ACE transfer credit can be used for up to 75% of the credits required for a degree or certificate. By offering this alternative credit opportunity, the colleges of DCCCD hope to help adults finish what they started and get a degree or a post-secondary certificate.
Please Note:
- All other ACE credit not listed on this page may be considered for transfer, but each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Contact the
Admissions/Registrar's Office for more information.
- To receive the articulated credit, you must have completed the course(s) between 2015 and the present.
- The list of accepted courses may change when courses change or when ACE recommends a change.
