Transfer Credit Policy

Committees for each program decide the number of outside credits that may be transferred for program completion prior to beginning study at the Institute (see program maximums below). (The Petition form for Transfer Credit is available through the Office of Student Affairs or online in the Registrar's section.) When transfer credit is awarded, no grade will be recorded and no fee charged. No transfer credit will be allowed from institutions or programs that lack appropriate accreditation or for courses for which the student received a grade of less than B. Transfer credit will not be allowed for courses counted toward another degree.
