Can a student transfer courses taken at another university, whether or not a degree was received?
There is no fixed limit for transfer courses for other institutions. However, all transfer credits must be approved as part of the student’s program plan by his or her guidance committee and confirmed by the program coordinator and associate dean. This means that the question of whether transfer courses will count cannot be firmly resolved until the second year of a student’s enrollment, when the program planning process occurs within a guidance committee. The central question is always what courses will best serve the student’s program needs. Realistically, students should not expect to transfer in a large number of courses from another institution, since they will need to construct a course of study that reflects the areas of emphasis within this program. It is difficult to imagine an appropriate program plan that would include more than three transfer courses.
