Online Individual Based Courses
*The Online Individual is an individual study with instructor only. CDU recommends students take the online group format (206-0800) during a regular trimester. The Online Individual format has been designed for students who may be enrolling after the beginning of a trimester. The Graduate Registrar can help with course selection.

Paper-Based Courses
Individual Graduate-level courses are taken for Credit
Official transcripts are not required to enroll individually in these courses. However an ability to succeed at courses of this level needs to be demonstrated (e.g., showing you have successfully taken undergraduate or graduate courses). Assignments and testing requirements are the same as for those who are participating in a Degree program.
Transferring Graduate Credits
More than 2,000 colleges and universities accept courses recommended for credit by the College Credit Recommendation Service of the American Council on Education. Please check the National Guide for further information.
Tranferring individual course credits from CDU into the Master's programs is simple, once a student applies and is accepted into the Master's program. Click here for the  Master's Degree Program Application.
