Send the official transcript from your home institution to the following address: American College 3001 Philadelphia Pike Claymont, DE 19703

Step 2: Transfer of Credits


Within two weeks of a completed file, you will receive a Letter of Acceptance. Once accepted, take the proposed course listings to your academic advisor at your home institution. He/she will help you in determining which courses will fit your degree program.

Complete the ACD registration form, and have your advisor sign the form verifying your course selections. Send the registration form to the Study Abroad Office. Your study abroad advisor at American College will register you for classes.

Note: It is always a good idea to approve the 5 courses you plan to take, as well as several alternate courses in case of scheduling conflicts!

Step 3: Security Deposit Required


Within one (1) month of acceptance into the program, a security deposit of $500 is required. This deposit is nonrefundable and fully applied to the cost of tuition. The security deposit secures a position for you within the program and will allow your advisor to register you for your class selections.

Step 4: Visa Requirements


The Study Abroad Office will contact you if you do or do not require a visa to study.

Step 5: Pre-Departure Forms to be Completed


American College Dublin will provide you with a pre-departure packet containing necessary travel and study documents. The forms must be submitted to the Study Abroad Office at least 2 months prior to departure.

Step 6: Payments
