Q&A

If you are a graduate student or an undergraduate student in good standing with 60 or more earned credit hours, you will be considered a teach-out student. All other NDC students will be considered transfer students, though we will do our best to extend the same benefits guaranteed by the teach-out to our NDC transfers, particularly out-of-pocket price matching.

Students eligible for the teach out only need to supply their NDC transcript showing credit accepted by NDC. �Ӱ��̳ will honor NDC’s transfer credit awards. Students with less than 60 credits transferring to �Ӱ��̳ must provide transcripts from all institutions attended. �Ӱ��̳ will make every effort to apply all credit earned. Student athletes are an exception and need to provide transcripts from all institutions attended for NCAA eligibility purposes. Finally, if NDC did not provide transfer credit on any of your previous coursework that you would like �Ӱ��̳ to consider, you will need to submit the official transcript for evaluation.

Eligible students include currently or previously enrolled Notre Dame College students (either concurrently or having stopped out) no earlier than the spring 2023 semester. Students who have already transferred from NDC to another institution are not eligible for this offer.

Undergraduate students qualifying for the NDC teach out will be packaged according to their 23-24 NDC out-of-pocket cost (less any athletic aid) and held constant until they graduate. Transfers will be packaged to 23-24 NDC out-of-pocket cost but will be subject to �Ӱ��̳’s annual rate increases. Information on graduate pricing is forthcoming.

Undergraduate housing requirements will be waived for teach-outs if requested, but transfer students will be subject to our residency requirements. Students’ out-of-pocket cost will be based on their residency status at NDC. Students who commuted to NDC that would like to live on campus at �Ӱ��̳ will be charged our room and board rate.

Your final transcript and official financial aid details will need to be provided by NDC. We’re still working out the details with Notre Dame College on how we will receive this documentation.

Yes. Undergraduate teach-out eligibility will be calculated based on the count of credits you have at the end of the spring semester. We will require your final transcript from NDC to confirm the credit.

Teach out students do not, unless they are student athletes (for NCAA eligibility) or would like �Ӱ��̳ to review for credit courses that were not already accepted by NDC. All transfer students (less than 60 credits) are required to provide transcripts from all institutions attended.

We are working on scheduling a date for undergraduate orientation (likely May 3, to be confirmed soon) that will be only for NDC students (both teach-outs and transfers). Graduate students will be advised by their program chairs at mutually agreed upon times.

We will honor the offer of this teach-out agreement in both the fall 2024 and spring 2025 semesters, provided the student has not enrolled elsewhere between enrollment at NDC and �Ӱ��̳.
