• Courses must have been taken at a recognized, accredited graduate school
• Courses may NOT have been used to complete the requirements for another degree
• Courses must have been taken within the seven-year time frame of the degree
• A B (3.0) or better grade must have been earned on all transfer credit
• The credit must be recorded on an official transcript that is on file with the Graduate School
• Transfer credits must be approved by the student’s dissertation committee and by the Vice Provost of Graduate Education
• Transfer credit must be necessary to meet specific degree requirements
• A maximum of nine credit hours may be transferred
