Credits

Just a few points to read before you register:
- 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 to complete the extra assignments.
- Pay an Admin fee. This fee is for retrieving and preparing your transcripts according to the course price list in the registration form below.
- Design Alive have partnered with Parchment who will send your transcript via secure email to the college of your choice. Parchment charge a separate fee of $5 per transcript and a additional $2.50 if you want it mailed to a non-USA address. The transcript can include one or all of the courses you wish to receive credit for.
- Most courses require additional tests or projects in order to obtain credits (see below for relevant courses before signing up). Once your registration has been received, you will be informed if you have fulfilled all the necessary criteria to obtain accreditation or if there are additional projects or tests required.
- For a full listing of each course accreditation details please refer to the NCCRS website. The course names may appear different to the courses you registered for. For an explanation about the course names please refer to the Accreditation page on the DesignAlive.com website
