Graduate Transfer Credit Request: Fill & Download for Free

Master's degree applications consist of seven components. Statement of purpose, résumés, and supplemental materials should be uploaded and submitted after the application form has been submitted through the application status page to ensure efficient processing. A regionally accredited baccalaureate degree is required for admission. Applicants must have a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent) in their undergraduate work from a regionally accredited degree-granting institution for full admission. Applicants whom University College believes may successfully engage in graduate work, but who have not met the previously stated GPA requirements, may be admitted to a degree program on a provisional basis. The GMAT and GRE are NOT required. Students may transfer up to 12 credit hours toward a master's degree as long as the graduate coursework and credit hours were earned within a five year period preceding the request for transfer hours from a regionally accredited institution. All transfer credit must carry a minimum grade of B and may not have been applied toward another degree program. Transfer credit may not be applied toward graduate certificate requirements. Students must request transfer credit during their first quarter of enrollment and transfer credit hours must be submitted on the Transfer of Credit Request form.

Here is what the Stanford policy states.“Transfer Credit Policy OverviewYou can request transfer credit for university-level course work completed outside Stanford. Once approved, transfer credit can count towards overall University graduation requirements and, if approved by your major department, towards major and minor requirements.The requirements are very specific, so it is important to be aware of all these policies:All work must be completed at a regionally accredited institution in the U.S. or at an officially recognized international institution.Courses must be college-level and count towards a college-level degree. Courses counted towards your high school graduation requirements do not qualify. Life experience and military training, such as boot camp, are not accepted for transfer credit.Provide an official college transcript in English which shows the following for each course: Course codes/numbers Course titles or descriptions Final grades earned Course credits earnedThe course must have substantial content overlap with Stanford course work. A maximum of 20 quarter units may represent courses which do not parallel specific undergraduate courses at Stanford.The course cannot duplicate, overlap, or regress previous work.You must receive at least a ‘C-’ grade. ‘Pass’ grades are only accepted when that grade is equivalent to a letter grade of 'C' or above as confirmed by the transcript key, institution web site, or a letter from school official. Your final grades will not be posted to your transcript or count towards your Stanford GPA.Your approved transfer credit is a maximum of 45 quarter units (or 90 units for transfer students) and that total includes advanced placement test credit.No more than 15 quarter units from correspondence and online study may count towards the maximum transfer credit. Online course work, however, is not accepted for Ways, Language, and some program requirements.See the Stanford Bulletin for the full transfer credit policy.

One must apply for admission to transfer to the new University. As a part of the application and its associated fees, an official transcript is required. The school sends this directly to the Admission office of the new school. Once accepted, the office of Admission forwards a copy the transcript to the department or school counselor to develop a graduation scheme. Any classes not easily accepted for credit are referred to the subject matter expert (i.e. Math department for a math class, etc…) a may require a course bulletin or syllabus to help determine if the course is a credit hour and content match. The department counselor forwards an Advanced Standing request up the “administrative chain” to the Registrar's office to provide credit and no grades at the new University.Best advise is to see if the new school has a software tool to evaluate transfer credit and provide a graduation scheme prior to application. The other advise is to take a year of subjects to facilitate credit. I hope this helps. I hope this helps. Good luck!
