Transfer of Credit Completed at another Institution

In addition to the university-wide requirements, the following criteria apply to non-institutional graduate transfer credit in the National College of Education:

• Courses can be transferred at any time after admission until finalization of the degree
• For graduate degrees, there is a six-year limit between the first course and the last course used for the degree, including any transfer credit. Extensions beyond six-years require the Program Chair approval (for 6-10 years) and are completed through the exception form initiated by an advisor. Extension beyond 10 years require petition to the Academic Policies Committee (APC). Graduate degrees include the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.), Master of Education (M.Ed.), Educational Specialist (Ed.S.), and certificates.
• Transfer credit is limited to nine semester hours of graduate credit for those pursuing the M.Ed., or M.A.T degrees
• Those who are pursuing an Ed.S. degree may transfer a maximum of nine semester hours of post-master’s degree coursework; certain exceptions apply
• Doctoral students (Ed.D.) may apply up to 12 hours of post-master’s degree courses
• Any additional transfer credit (above what is allowed by each program) must be approved by the APC
