Marymount University grants transfer credit for graduate courses when a grade of B or better was earned in the particular course or courses and an official transcript showing proof of grade(s) is submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions or the Office of the Registrar (courses may not be taken pass/fail); course credit was granted by an institution of higher education that is accredited by a regional accrediting agency or by an institution that is recognized as a "Candidate for Accreditation" by a regional accrediting agency; the content of the applicable graduate course or courses can be determined; the course or courses are applicable to the student’s intended graduate degree program as a requirement or an elective; the content of the course can be deemed relevant and current; written approval is obtained from both the student's school director and associate dean (forms for this purpose are available in each school office and in the Office of the Registrar); and a final official transcript is submitted to the Office of the Registrar. A maximum of 12 semester credits may be accepted in transfer to most graduate programs at Marymount; however, some programs may restrict the number of credits that a student is allowed to transfer.
