The DCCCD guarantees to its Associate in Arts and Associate in Sciences graduates and other students who have met the requirements of a 60 credit-hour transfer plan the transferability of course credits to those Texas colleges or universities which cooperate in the development of DCCCD Course Selection Guides. If such courses are rejected by the college or the university, the student may take tuition-free alternate courses at a District college which are acceptable to the college or university. In addition, students may receive the Associate of College/University Transfer Degree upon the completion of 61 credit hours which are included in the Student Transfer Guarantee.
Special Conditions which apply to the guarantee are as follows:
- Transferability means the acceptance of credits toward a specific major and degree. Courses must be identified by the receiving university as transferable and applicable in Course Selection Guides dated 1991-92 or later;
- Limitations of total number of credits accepted in transfer, grades required, relevant grade point average and duration of transferability apply as stated in the catalog of the receiving institution; and
- The guarantee applies to courses included in a written transfer plan which includes the institution to which the student will transfer, the baccalaureate major and degree sought, and the date such a decision was made which must be filed with the appropriate DCCCD college.

This guarantee is designed specifically for those DCCCD students who have made firm decisions about their major and the institution to which they planned to transfer. The DCCCD is working with a number of Texas institutions, such as the University of North Texas, East Texas State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at Dallas, Texas Woman's University, Texas Tech University, Dallas Baptist University, Baylor University, Southern Methodist University and others, in order to make such guarantees possible. In order to secure such a guarantee, students should begin the process in their College Counseling/Advisement Center by scheduling an appointment with the Transfer Guarantee advisor.
Students who have completed a Transfer Guarantee may be eligible to receive the Associate of College/University Transfer Degree. Such students will be notified of this opportunity.
