Credit transfer

Master's Degree Upon approval by the Graduate School, up to 8 of the 42 minimum hours may be transferred from another accredited institution, or from this institution for courses taken before admission to the Graduate School, or from a different master's program at this institution.   Transferred credit will be accepted by the Graduate School only upon recommendation by the student's major curriculum, department or school.   Transfer of credit does not reduce the minimum residence requirements for a master’s degree. Doctoral Degree A doctoral student may request transfer of relevant graduate courses from accredited institutions or from other graduate programs within this institution.  The doctoral student may be examined on all transferred coursework at the time of the doctoral oral examination.  The examining committee then makes a recommendation to the Graduate School, which has the final responsibility for approving the transfer.  The residence credit hour requirement requires UNC-Chapel Hill registration (i.e., no transfer credit).
