Transfer Credit

The MSIT program director can help students determine whether any previous or potential future graduate coursework from another institution is eligible to be accepted as transfer credit, especially those from the BSU MIS program offered in Europe. Up to 6 credits of graduate credit may be considered for transfer to the MSIT program, if earned at a regionally accredited institution. Up to 3 graduate transfer credits may be accepted for a certificate program.

All graduate credits offered for transfer credit must meet the following criteria:
1.	The credits must have been earned as graduate credit.
2.	The credits must not have been used to meet the requirements for any degree the student previously earned or is expected to earn.
3.	The credits must have been awarded within the time limit for the degree or certificate.
4.	The student must have earned a grade of B or better in the courses considered for transfer. (However, these grades are not included in the calculation of the student’s grade-point average.)
5.	The program director must have determined that the transfer courses are relevant to the student’s applicable program of study.
6.	The credits must have been earned at a regionally accredited institution and be equivalent to graduate-level coursework or recommended for graduate-level credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). A student requesting transfer credit must provide a course description, a course syllabus, and an official transcript.

A student requesting transfer credit must provide a course description, course syllabus, and an official transcript.

Graduate students at UMUC Europe must complete a minimum of 12 credits at the graduate level with a minimum GPA of 3.0 before transfer credits will be released or posted to their permanent records.
