Because a Microcredential is comprised of short course sequences, requirements for a Microcredential are to be completed at DCC. Any exception to this would require departmental approval in order to transfer in credits.

No more than 50% of credits may be accepted in transfer.*

A digital badge will be awarded to students who complete the required coursework and earn a 2.0 or higher in each course.

If the Microcredential contains a certification exam, a successful score on that exam is also required for the award of the Microcredential.

*Certain courses may be required to be taken at DCC; check your specific program for these exceptions.
