Transferring Dual Credit

Below is helpful info about transferring credit from our dual credit course to your university.

Usually, the process to transfer credit is to go to Loyola's website and request a transcript. Then you send in a copy to your university and you request credit. But I would call the admissions office of your university to be sure. Transcripts will not be available until a grade is posted.

I recommend requesting two transcript copies - one for your own record and one for the college you are attending.

Official Transcripts


There are 3 ways that you can request a transcript depending on your circumstances:


1.  If they attempt to access transcripts within 30 days of the end of the semester, they can log into LOCUS as a current student.  Go to the Locus website and then follow the directions here.

2.  If the semester has been finished for 30 days or more, students will be considered alumni in which case:
a.  If the student applied with their social security number, follow these directions using their SS#. 
b.  If the student did not provide their SS# in their dual credit application, follow these directions for this circumstance. (MOST STUDENTS WILL NEED THIS LAST LINK)

Sometimes they want the following info:

Syllabus:  I will attach a link to the syllabus here.
Dept & Title:  the course title from Loyola is SOCL101; Society in a Global Age (SOCL is the sociology Dept.)
Text:  The class uses the text Real World Sociology by Ferris and Stein 6th Ed.
ReadingsJust Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.  Course Packet with selected readings.
