1. Open and download the Transfer of Credit form for directions on how to transfer credits to your student record.
2. The form must be completed and signed by your Graduate Director.
3. Official transcripts including a grading scale or key must be submitted with the form.
POLICY:
Upon completion of 9 credits of graduate level course work with grades of B or better, in the School of Graduate Studies as a matriculated student, your request will be evaluated. Transfer of credit is allowed only for formal graduate level course work specifically related to the student’s program of study in which grades of B or better were received. No credit may be transferred for thesis research work, course work done as independent study, or work in courses which were not graded. Grades of P, R, or S are eligible for transfer if equivalent to a grade of B or better and accompanied by a letter from the instructor of the course testifying to that equivalence. Credit is not normally transferred for courses taken more than six years prior to the application for transfer of credit. Appeals for waiver of this time limit may be made by the graduate director, in writing, with a statement verifying the current level of the student’s information on the subject or that the course material is still current. No more than the equivalent of one year of course work may normally be transferred toward the Ph.D. (i.e., 24 credits). No more than 40% of the credits required for the Master’s degree may be transferred from an outside institution. Quarter credits will be converted to semester credits by reducing the total by 1/3 (i.e., 9 quarter credits = 6 semester credits). Make sure you list the converted credits.
