One of the key benefits of dual credit courses is that the credits earned are often transferable to other colleges and universities. Illinois has a statewide agreement, facilitated by the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), which ensures that dual credit courses completed at one public institution will be accepted for credit at any other public college or university in the state. This initiative helps students transfer credits seamlessly.

In order to transfer dual credit earned, students must request a transcript from the partner college/university that the dual credit course was taken through. Please refer to “Dual Credit Transcripts” for more information.

It's important to note that transfer policies can vary between institutions, especially out-of-state and private colleges/universities. To ensure that these credits will be accepted by the college or university a student plans to attend in the future, it is advisable to check the specific transfer policies of those institutions. Students are also encouraged to use the Transferology website, a national network for exploring college transfer options.

During the Spring semester, Seniors in D214 will receive communication about requesting their college transcripts to begin the process of transferring earned dual credit.
