Graduate Credit Transfer

Transfer Credit

Graduate credits earned at another accredited institution may be accepted in transfer, in accordance with the curricular requirements of the degree program and the academic policies of the colleges. Generally, transfer credit will be considered for those courses completed within the last five years in which a grade of B or better has been earned. A maximum of nine credits may be accepted in transfer.

Academic course waivers are available in some graduate degree programs, including the M.B.A. Graduate prerequisite course work may be waived for students who have completed relevant undergraduate course work, with appropriate grades, within the last five years. Application for transfer or waiver credit is made through the academic school or department in conjunction with the Office of Enrollment Services.

To request a transfer or waiver evaluation, the student must submit an official transcript and course description. A request for an official evaluation of transfer or waiver credit should be concurrent with the student’s admission to the program. In some degree programs, students may be required to submit challenge exam scores to receive transfer or waiver credit.
