Design Alive is proud to announce that our courses have received revalidation in 2022 of the college credit recommendations as set forth by the National College Credit Recommendation Service, known as the NCCRS. For a full listing of the accredited courses please refer to the NCCRS website
NCCRS credit recommendations are recognized by many colleges and universities. Institutions such as Excelsior University, Thomas Edison State University, Empire State University, Charter Oak State College among others have enabled students to transfer their credit recommendations toward a degree.
Please note that Design Alive is not a college and does not award degrees. We also do not offer any financial aid but offer very comfortable payment plans and our courses are very fairly priced.
Any students who have successfully completed a Design Alive course and would like to receive credits are welcome to request past transcripts for their courses providing the course has existed in its present format art the time you attended. Some courses may have changed slightly as a result there may be additional tests or projects needed to ‘complete’ the course for credit purposes.
Any current students who wish to receive credits for their current courses should follow the steps on the help page / credit section Once you have registered (paid) for your credits, you will then be directed to set up an account with Parchment – the company who will be issuing our formal transcripts. Transcripts will be sent directly from them to your college or yourself as required. Any past students who don’t have a student account should contact miriam@designalive.com who will guide you further.
We advise any current student who would like to receive credits to register whilst doing the course rather than once completed the course, so that it will be easier for the student to complete the extra assignments as they do the course and are up to the relevant topics, instead of revising the topics once the course is completed to complete the extra assignments.
