Transfer credit is not automatic. Graduate work completed at another accredited school prior to enrollment at St. Thomas University may be accepted as transfer credit IF the course work parallels courses offered in the student’s graduate program at St. Thomas.

 

In general, a maximum of six credit hours may be transferred toward a Master’s degree program. Transfer credit may be granted only for courses taken within six (6) years previous to the date transferred. All exceptions to any policy must be granted in writing by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Courses included in a Comprehensive Examination are NOT transferable. Transfer credit for course work will be accepted only for courses completed prior to the student’s enrollment in the St. University Graduate Program. Graduate transfer credits may not have been course work which was part of the work used to complete the student’s undergraduate degree. Only grades of “B” or higher may be applied as transferred credit.

 

A student requesting transfer credit must file a written request with the required documentation to the Program Coordinator during the first semester of enrollment. Verification of all documents is the responsibility of the appropriate Program Coordinator. NO requests for transfer of credit will be honored after the first semester of graduate study.
