Transfer Credits

Prelicensure Programs:

Clinical courses may not be transferred.
A maximum of 3 credit hours may be transferred. These must be credits not utilized from a previously completed degree. 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 a C+ (77%).
Pathophysiology or Pharmacology may be re-taken outside of the School of Nursing with permission of the Associate Dean of Prelicensure Programs. The re-take of either course will replace the IHP grade. If a student fails a re-take of either Pathophysiology or Pharmacology (grade < 77%) the progression policy will apply, and the student will be dismissed from the program.
The deadline for course completion of the Pathophysiology or Pharmacology re-take will be determined by the Associate Dean of Prelicensure Programs based on the course progression timeline of the individual student.
The official transcript of the repeated course must be submitted by the deadline set forth by the Associate Dean of Prelicensure Programs.

Advanced Practice and Post Baccalaureate Master’s Programs:
