Transfer Credit/Transient Work

Transfer credit is not automatic. The maximum number of transfer credit allowed (12 hours for a Doctoral degree and 15 hours for a Master’s degree)is determined by degree program requirements and is considered on a case-by-case basis. Transfer credit will be evaluated by the dean, 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.
