Transfer credits will be authorized only if (1) the credit is to be used in meeting the requirements for a Master’s degree (2) a grade of ‘B’ or better must be earned. If the course was ‘P’ (passing) or ‘S’ (satisfactory), the student must provide a letter from the grading faculty member that indicates what the letter grade would have been had the course been graded. This letter must be mailed DIRECTLY from the faculty member, and not from the student. (3) Credits were completed within a five year period from the date of the semester in which the student earned the first accepted credits of the master’s degree program (4) The School Graduate Studies must be provided with an official transcript reflecting the completed course. The Dean of Graduate Studies may deny a student permission to transfer credit when the course is judged to be outdated or inappropriate, or if the proper procedure has not been followed. Can I transfer credits?
