Online Course Credits

Return to Frequently Asked Questions

Will my primary school accept the credits I earned taking online courses?

This decision is largely based on the school's accreditation. Regionally accredited schools will generally accept credits transferred from other regionally accredited online schools. Often, the campus schools that offer online courses are both DETC and Regionally accredited. Otherwise, it is best to call the accepting school to verify that they will accept the credits.

You can check to see whether or not your school is accredited via the college search database. Enter the school name and view their accreditation data.
