Transfer of Credits from Another Institution

According to the Graduate Catalog,

A maximum of six semester hours of graduate coursework in which the grade is A or B may be transferred to the Program of Work from another institution, but only on the basis of a petition by the Graduate Studies Committee and with the approval of the Graduate Dean. A student seeking a transfer of credit must provide the Graduate School with an official transcript and an official explanation of the course numbering and grading systems at the school at which the credit was earned. Only graduate courses may be transferred. Work counted toward a degree at another institution cannot be transferred. Students are encouraged to seek approval before taking any coursework they plan to transfer. Students should not take courses at another institution the semester they plan to graduate, because the grades may not be received in time to certify the student's Program of Work for graduation. Unless the Graduate Dean has approved its inclusion, no coursework listed on the Program of Work may be over six years old.

Coursework transferred as described in this section appears only on the student's Program of Work. It does not appear on the official student record maintained by the registrar. Because it is not part of the official record, such coursework does not appear on the student's transcript and is not included in the graduate grade point average.
