Questions about Transfer Credit

  • What is the total number of credits that I can transfer to DePaul?

  • What is the Senior Residency Requirement?

  • I am currently enrolled at DePaul; can I still take courses at other institutions and have them apply toward the History of Art and Architecture major and/or Liberal Studies Program requirements as transfer credit?

  • How do I find out the DePaul course equivalent of a course that I might take (or have already taken) at another college or university?

  • I am a transfer student and had my Chicago Quarter and Focal Point courses waived, but the LAS office told me that I had to take Liberal Studies Learning Domain electives in their place; what courses can I take to satisfy this requirement?

  • I am transferring to DePaul as an upperclassman; what Liberal Studies courses do I have to take?

  • Why are some courses in areas like sociology and history that I took at another institution listed as “not applicable to degree,” while other classes in the same fields do satisfy Liberal Studies and elective requirements?

Note: A transfer student is defined as someone having between 30 and 132 hours of transfer credit applied to their DePaul record.​​
