Transfer Credit/Transient Work
The number of hours of transfer credit allowed is determined by the degree program requirements and is considered on a case-by-case basis. Transfer credit is not automatic. Transfer credit will be carefully evaluated by the program director/coordinator or advisor/appointee. If a graduate program accepts transfer credit, transferability will be based on specific criteria:
- The course is no more than 10 years old
- The course is relevant to the degree program
- The course was taken for graduate credit from a regionally accredited institution
- A minimum grade of B was earned in the course
- The applicant meets all entrance requirements for the program
Permission to take courses at other institutions while working on a graduate degree at Trevecca must be obtained from the dean of the school offering the program or the dean’s designee.
Maximum transfer credits have been established for each degree program:
