TitleSectionTextEditionSource
transfer_creditTransfer Credit/Shared Credit An official determination of transfer credit will be considered after admission to a degree program. Therefore, approved transfer credit reduces accordingly the number of credit hours required at Westminster. Conversely, courses taken at Westminster that are the equivalent of courses for which transfer credit was previously approved will reduce accordingly the approved transfer credit. Transfer credit approval is dependent upon the nature and quality of the work, contingent upon a student’s successful matriculation into a degree program, and not effective or applied until successful completion of a student’s matriculation semester or term. Credits from undergraduate programs will not be accepted for transfer. Steps to seeking transfer of credit: Residential Students 1.​ Review the transfer credit policy below. 4.​ Submit the Transfer of Credit Request form and any required materials to Student Success. Transfer credit for residential programs is reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Student Success team and the Chief Academic Officer. Steps to seeking transfer of credit: Online Students 1.​ Review the complete transfer policy below, including the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) transfer credit policy for all courses being transferred from CCEF. Transfer credit requests are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the Student Success team and the Chief Academic Officer. Master’s Programs 1.​ No transfer credit is granted for the Certificate programs. 2.​ Shared Credit (transfer credit from an institution from which the student has completed a master’s degree): Ordinarily, the Seminary may accept up to one-half of the credits earned for a first theological master’s degree toward a degree at Westminster, not to exceed one-half of the credits required for the MAC, MATS, MDiv, and MAR degrees at Westminster. 3.​ Transfer Credit (from an institution from which the student has not received a Master’s degree): The Seminary may accept up to one-half of the credits earned at another institution as transfer credit toward a degree at Westminster. If a student changes their program at Westminster before earning a degree, all of the credits that they have completed will be evaluated for transfer into the new program.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
transfer_credit4.​ Only courses in which a grade of C or above was received will be considered for transfer credit into a master’s program. 5.​ Grades are transferred only from courses from a Westminster program or from courses taken at Jerusalem University College (JUC). It is more likely that, if approved, course credit will be applied to elective hours rather than to required courses (since the content or perspective of the transferred course might not be equivalent to that of the required Westminster course). 8.​ Greek and Hebrew language courses completed at another institution will not be considered for transfer credit. 9.​ Unless otherwise noted elsewhere, courses completed at Westminster or at another institution that are more than ten years old prior to initial matriculation or readmission are normally not considered for transfer credit or applicable to a present Westminster program. ThM, PhD and DMin Programs 10.​ Only courses in which a grade of B or above was received will be considered for transfer credit to a ThM, PhD, or DMin degree program. 11.​ Study completed at Westminster or another institution more than five years prior to initial matriculation in the PhD, ThM, or DMin program cannot be applied for transfer credit to the program that the student is entering. 12.​ Normally, up to two approved ThM/PhD level courses from another institution may be transferred to the ThM program, only one of which may count toward the three required courses in the ThM candidate’s concentration. However, for PhD students, the number of non-classroom courses taken at Westminster (e.g., online courses, external courses) will reduce the maximum number of courses eligible for transfer credit within the PhD. 13.​ Transfer credit toward the PhD program for courses completed in Westminster’s ThM program is given depending upon the nature and quality of the work. However, individuals who have obtained a ThM degree from Westminster may be given shared credit for up to four courses.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
transfer_credit14.​ Shared credit toward the ThM degree for ThM/PhD work completed in Westminster’s MDiv or MAR degree is also limited to four courses; however all courses transferred into the PhD require review by the appropriate field committee .​ 15.​ PhD candidates in the field of Hermeneutics and Biblical Interpretation: Ordinarily, transfer credit will not be granted for courses completed at other institutions prior to enrollment. Transfer credit will not be approved for required courses. 16.​ PhD candidates in the field of Historical and Theological Studies: Up to four courses of advanced work beyond a first theological degree may be approved for transfer credit, if the advanced work is not credited toward an earned degree. However, approved transfer credit is limited to two courses if the advanced work is pursued prior to completion of a first theological degree. 17.​ A maximum of 2 courses may be accepted for elective transfer credit for the DMin program. Pre-approval of Transfer Credits 18.​ A current MDiv, MAR, ThM, PhD, or DMin student who has received pre-approval to take a course at another institution for transfer credit must make arrangements for enrollment at the other institution and report to Student Success at Westminster in writing before the beginning of the semester when he/she will enroll at the other institution. Transfer of credit from unaccredited institutions Students who seek transfer credit from courses earned in an equivalent degree program at an unaccredited, graduate level theological institution must supply the following: a. A copy of the course syllabus stating the instructor’s name and the course requirements for each course for which transfer credit is requested. b. At least one sample of coursework submitted in fulfillment of course requirements for each course for which transfer credit is requested.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
transfer_creditAcceptance of one course from an unaccredited institution for transfer credit carries no implication regarding the acceptance of other courses from that institution. Only courses in which a grade of B or above was received will be accepted for transfer credit. No more than 15 semester credit hours from an unaccredited institution will be accepted for transfer credit toward a student’s degree program at Westminster. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A maximum of 35 credits may be recognized from CCEF, subject to the specifications listed below, the general transfer credit limitations stated above and also the requirements of the student’s degree program. (See “Transfer of credit from accredited graduate theological schools” section and Chapter 8 Degree Programs.) ​ ​ ● CCEF courses completed BEFORE September 1, 2017 ​ Up to 35 credits may be approved with a fee of $100 per course.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
transfer_creditFor MDiv students, no more than 23 credits for work completed at GTI may be counted towards the student’s degree. Transfer of Credit for Courses Taken at Reformed Episcopal Seminary (RES) The transfer credit policy agreement with RES is aimed at allowing Westminster MDiv students who are seeking ordination in CANA/ACNA or REC the ability to take the required coursework for licensure in their denomination. 2.​ Only courses in which a grade of C or above was received will be accepted for transfer credit. 3.​ The following courses may be transferred: a.​ AN 503 Liturgics - 2 hrs.* b.​ AN 512 Creeds and Councils - 2 hrs.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com

transfer_creditA maximum of two “non-classroom” modules (via transfer credit and/or independent studies) is allowed. In addition to these modular courses, students will be required to complete the Project Preparation Pathway, a structured, self-paced series of tutorials and activities designed to orient students to the program, provide them with the tools and research resources they will need, and prepare them to successfully complete the Applied Research Project Proposal and the degree-culminating Applied Research Project.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
transfer_creditSee chapter 6 for the seminary’s transfer of credit policy.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
transfer_creditThe maximum number of courses taken at another institution (‘external’ and transfer credit combined) is four. The maximum number of off-campus courses (‘external’, transfer credit, and online courses) is five. Please see Transfer Credit/Shared Credit in Chapter 6. For any ‘external’ courses at another school, the student should consult his or her academic advisor, make arrangements for enrollment at the other school, and contact the Student Success team before enrolling at the other school.2026-2027cdn.prod.website-files.com
