Policy for Transfer of Course Credit

Students may request transfer of credit for graduate work completed at another accredited institution. A range of 1-15 credit hours (determined by the department chair/program director) of graduate credit which meet degree requirements may be accepted at the master’s level.

No credit will be given for courses in which the grade was below a “B”.

Credit may not be given for courses that are more than five (5) years old.

The student may be requested to present catalog descriptions of the graduate courses for which transfer credit is requested.

Transfer grades will not be included in the cumulative Grade Point Average.

Approval of all transfer credit is the prerogative of the department chair/program director and the Director of the Graduate School.

Ordinarily, workshop courses and courses taught regularly at the University of Saint Francis may not be taken elsewhere after the student is enrolled in a degree program at the university. Once admitted to the University of Saint Francis, the student must obtain approval from the Director of the Graduate School prior to registering for coursework at another institution. Only grades of “B” or better will be accepted for transfer.
