Transfer Credit
Students must request an official transcript be mailed to the Graduate School, 701 Ginger Hall, Morehead, KY 40351.
Transfer credit may not exceed one-third of the requirements for a graduate degree, unless specified by the program, provided:
-
The credit has been earned at an accredited graduate institution within 10 years of the date on which the graduate program requirements are completed;
-
The work is acceptable as credit toward a comparable program at the institution from which transfer is sought;
-
The courses to be transferred carry a mark of "B" or better; and
-
The courses are approved by the advisor, program department chair and/or coordinator and the graduate director. Approval may be based on the evaluation of an institution using these criteria: length of the instructional term, frequency and length of class sessions, availability of library services, course syllabus and/or statement of requirements and faculty member's qualifications.
Transfer credits taken during the final semester of a program will delay program completion until official transcripts of the courses have been received in the Graduate School. To transfer a course, a course substitution form must be completed and submitted with any required documentation to the student's advisor for approval and appropriate signatures. Transfer credit does not compute in the MSU GPA. A course substitution/transfer form can be accessed at https://www.moreheadstate.edu/academics/colleges/gradschool/students/forms or by contacting the Graduate School at 606-783-2039 or graduate@moreheadstate.edu.
