Acceptance of Credit by Transfer

With proper approval, six semester hours of credit may be transferred on master's and specialist degree programs. A request for transfer of credit cannot be made until a student has been admitted as a prospective candidate for a degree. The transfer credit must be included on the program of study.

A student enrolled in a program leading to a Master of Science degree may not use transfer credit to fulfill the requirement that one-half of the hours on the program of study be open only to graduate students.

The Graduate School does not allow any transfer of credit for doctoral students.
