Transfer of Graduate Level Credits

The following criteria will be used to determine whether or not a course from another college will be accepted for transfer credit at Carroll:

1. The course in question must be from a regionally accredited college or university.
2. The student must have received a “B-” or better in the course; courses taken on a pass/fail basis will not be eligible for transfer.
3. A maximum of 20% of a program's overall graduate semester credits will be allowed to transfer (e.g. 6 graduate credits for a 30-credit program). Clinical experience and practicum credits are not included in the calculation of allowable transfer credits and they are not eligible for transfer without special approval from the program director.
4. Grades earned at other institutions are not calculated into the Carroll College grade point average.
5. Any post-secondary coursework taken within 5 years of being admitted or readmitted to the campus will be included in the transfer analysis.*
6. Coursework that falls outside the 5 year guarantee period may be included in the evaluation, at the discretion of the registrar and appropriate department chair.*
7. Students are responsible for sending an original translated copy of their foreign transcripts directly to the Registrar’s Office.

*No graduate credit, from either Carroll College or a transfer institution, older than 10 years at the time of graduation, may be used to fulfill graduate degree requirements.
