First-year students may submit for evaluation college courses taken after the student’s junior year of high school. Courses taken must have equivalents at Notre Dame; courses most frequently approved are in areas of history, social sciences and fine arts. The following documentation is needed for evaluation:

an official transcript for the course.

documentation from the secondary school that the credit earned was not used to meet high school diploma requirements.

documentation that the course was taken on an accredited college or university campus, in competition with degree candidates of that college/university and taught by a regular member of the college/university faculty.

official description and course syllabus of course.

Prematriculation credit will not be approved for University Seminar, Composition, Mathematics, Science or Foreign language courses.

Only the Notre Dame equivalent of the course will be listed on your transcript as credit earned; the grade received for the course will not transfer. A maximum of three courses can be accepted for prematriculation transfer credit.
