Transfer and Other Advanced Standing Credit Transfer credits from other institutions (or other programs within the university) will only be accepted at the discretion of the student’s destination academic unit and the associated college with the following constraints: For graduate certificate programs, a maximum of 3 semester hours or 4 quarter hours of credit earned at another institution may be accepted toward the credential being pursued at Northeastern, provided the credits meet the above-listed standards. For master’s degree programs, a maximum of 30% of the credits required for the degree that are earned at another institution may be accepted toward the degree being pursued at Northeastern, provided the credits: Consist of work taken at the graduate level for graduate credit Carry grades of 3.000 or better Have been earned at an accredited institution Have not been used toward any baccalaureate or advanced degree or certificate at another institution Advanced standing is based on criteria established by the offering school or college and implemented in coordination with the Office of the University Registrar. When applied, advanced standing reduces the total credits required to complete the primary program. The combination of advanced standing and transfer credit shall not exceed 30% of the credits required for the degree. Credit for prior experiential or non-collegiate-sponsored learning is limited to 25% of the degree credits required for the degree. Graduate course credits earned at Northeastern by undergraduate students enrolled in a PlusOne program will be applied toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees as prescribed by the graduate program in which the student is enrolled, not to exceed 16 semester hours or 21 quarter hours. Transfer credit may not be applied to graduate degrees that are completed as part of a PlusOne program. Deviations from this limit shall be considered on a case-by-case basis by the University Graduate Curriculum Committee. Students may credit-share specified courses taken while in undergraduate status for both the bachelor's and PhD degrees. A student who departs from the program before receiving PhD candidacy may opt to use those courses toward a master's degree earned. However, such credit sharing cannot be used for more than two credentials, i.e., degrees and certificates. Please see above for limits on credit sharing between credentials. For doctoral programs, a maximum of 30% of the total semester hours of required coursework may be granted upon the recommendation of the admitting college’s graduate committee. Transfer credits must have been earned within five academic years of the date of matriculation in the Northeastern program to which they are to be applied.

Transfer Credit Students may transfer up to 60 semester hours of credit from a two-year college, or up to 80 semester hours from a four-year college, or a combination of the two types of colleges. If you have been admitted to the D’Amore-McKim School of Business and your college or university is not AACSB-accredited, the maximum number of credits that you can transfer to Northeastern is 60. See also Residency Requirement . College courses completed with a grade of C or better are considered for transfer credit by faculty evaluators. Liberal arts coursework taken more than 10 years ago and math and science coursework completed more than 5 years ago cannot be considered. All transfer-credit documents should be received prior to matriculation and must be received within one semester of matriculation. These documents include, but are not limited to, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and International Matriculation Exam scores and official transcripts from colleges and universities. These documents should be submitted whether or not you wish to receive transfer credit from this work. Transfer credit will not be granted for work completed prior to matriculation if the official credential is received after the completion of the first semester. College coursework completed at an international institution must be translated into English and evaluated by a recognized credential agency.

Transfer Credit Policies All graduate transfer credit awards are made on a case-by-case basis. Transfer credit awards are made for eligible courses successfully completed at regionally and programmatically accredited institutions. The Council for Higher Education Accreditation provides information about the organizations responsible for these two forms of accreditation. Official transcripts from all institutions should be sent directly to the College of Professional Studies Office of Admissions at the time of application. Students seeking transfer credits earned at institutions outside the United States should submit an official English evaluation completed by an approved credential evaluator. Course descriptions and/or syllabi also should be translated into English and submitted to the College of Professional Studies Office of Admissions. A maximum of 12 quarter hours or four 3-credit courses or three 4-credit courses obtained at another institution may be accepted as transfer toward the degree, provided the credits consist of work taken at the graduate level for graduate credit, carry minimum grades of B (or 3.000 on a 4.000 scale), have been earned at an accredited institution or equivalent, and have not been used toward any baccalaureate or advanced degree or certificate of advanced graduate study at another institution. Transfer credits must be no more than five academic years old at the time the student is admitted to graduate study. Courses older than five years will be accepted only in rare circumstances.

Transfer Credit Policy Transfer credits from other institutions (or courses within the university not included in the new master’s program) will continue to be considered for transfer in accordance with the university and Khoury College transfer credit policies.

Transfer Credits for Current Students Once they matriculate, students are expected to complete all coursework for their degree at Northeastern University; or an entity in a formal contractual, consortial, or partnership relationship with Northeastern; or at an approved study-abroad program. In some cases, in order to clear a deficiency, to permit students access to courses deemed by their respective advisors and colleges to be important for their education but unavailable to them at Northeastern, or to remain on track for graduation, a student may petition their college for permission to take a course at another accredited institution. With the approval of the college academic advisor and the graduate school offering the courses, students may take courses in Northeastern’s graduate schools. Students who wish to take courses at another institution and transfer the credit to Northeastern must obtain prior approval from the college academic advisor. The Office of the University Registrar validates accredited institutions to ensure credit transferability. The student must earn a C (2.000)

Transfer of Credit A maximum of 9 semester hours of credit obtained at another institution may be accepted toward the degree, provided the credits meet the following criteria: Work is completed at the graduate level for graduate credit Student received a grade of 3.000 or better Credits were earned at an accredited institution Credits have not been used toward any other degree Credits must not be more than seven years old at the time of transfer Transfer credit will be offered only for courses that are equivalent to a course offered at Northeastern University and that have been approved by the graduate committee. Students can submit a request for transfer of credit after they have begun taking courses in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences. Students are advised to contact their academic advisor to submit a request.

Northeastern University regulations for transfer credit are published in this catalog (https://catalog.northeastern.edu/archive/2024-2025/graduate/ academic-policies-procedures/regulations-degree-programs/).
