The Graduate School may accept up to one-fifth of the total number of credits required for a degree from another accredited college or university, 6 credits for most master's programs and 17 for the M.Div. Courses must be clearly graduate level as defined by the granting institution. The subject matter of courses transferred must be relevant to the degree in question, which is determined by the academic advisor. The date of each course considered needs to be within 5 years of the beginning semester at Gonzaga. No course for which a grade less than "B" has been awarded may be accepted. Classes graded on a Pass/Fail scale will not be considered unless Pass is equivalent to 'B". Transfer credits are used in the calculation of the graduate grade point average but are not entered on the student's transcript until the student has been admitted to candidacy. The Graduate Dean gives final approval for transfer credits. Forms are available from the academic advisor.
