What degrees can Distance Learning System’s ACE course credits transfer to?
Distance Learning Systems has over 30 University and College affiliations which guarantee credit transfer to over 500 degree programs. DLSI and our network of colleges/universities have agreed upon courses that transfer to the college’s degree programs. With that said, the courses you take at DLSI will be determined based on the degree and affiliate school that is chosen by the student. Our Program Administrators will guide and advise you on the selection of degree programs, affiliate schools, and courses needed. DLSI is able to guarantee course transfer due to the agreements in place with our network of colleges and universities. If your college/university of choice is not among our affiliate list, credits can transfer into non-affiliate schools based on their ACE transfer policy.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
