2.2 Transfer of Credits
Students may prepare a petition to transfer a maximum of 4 graduate credits for which they received a grade of “B” or better completed at another institution that would satisfy Program requirements. To be eligible for transfer of credits, the course must have been taken at the graduate level and completed prior to matriculation. The Petition for Course Replacement form must be submitted with appropriate supporting documentation (i.e., at minimum, a course syllabus and transcript). The petition must be approved by the Program Director and faculty of record. The student must speak with the Academic Advisor prior to submission of a petition to determine if a course can be transferred. Students must attach course syllabi, transcripts and any other requested documentation to the petition for transfer of credits. Transfer credits are not calculated into the graduate GPA. The formal transfer petition is available on the Registrar’s section of the website under “Important Forms”. On the recommendation of faculty, the advisor may also require that the student attend (without having to register for the course) the equivalent MGH IHP CAS course even though transfer credit for a similar course taken elsewhere was awarded.
