## ## Khoury College graduate students may request an intercampus transfer after at
least one academic year (two full-time semesters) in their graduate program if
their academic program is offered at the target campus. For campus transfers,
the eligible full-time semesters are fall, spring, and full summer. For Align
programs, students must have completed their Align Bridge coursework.
## Transfer Eligibility Requirements (excepting MSCS Computer Science—Align
online students)
  1. Student has met with their current academic advisor to discuss transfer option. 
  2. Minimum of 3.000 overall grade-point average. 
  3. Completed two full-time academic semesters on their original campus. _(Note:_ incoming students should work with the Office of Admissions to request a campus change.)
  4. All Align students: successful completion of bridge courses at home campus. 
  5. Student is relocating for a work experience and wants to complete their academic program at the new location and can provide documentation. 
  6. Transfers to the Boston campus will be considered for approval if a student has secured a research assistantship opportunity and can provide documentation from their sponsoring faculty.
  7. Other unique circumstances must be approved by the senior director for graduate student services. 
If a student is found to misrepresent their circumstances in the intercampus
transfer process, they will be referred to Khoury College’s Academic Integrity
Committee.
### Important Considerations for all MS Students
  * Intercampus transfer requests are not guaranteed approval and may be denied based on capacity at their target campus. Transfers are approved or denied by Khoury’s senior director for graduate student services or associate dean for graduate network.
  * Students should consider living, housing, and moving expenses when considering an intercampus transfer. 
  * Students who cancel an approved transfer to a specific campus in a specific term will need to work with their advisor to resubmit a new transfer request if their plans change. Prior approval does not guarantee approval of a new request. 
  * Students considering transfer to the Vancouver campus should review Canadian study permit and co-op/internship policies [here](https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Finternational.northeastern.edu%2Fogs%2Fstudent-support%2Fglobal-campuses%2Fcanada%2F&data=05%7C02%7CCatalog%40northeastern.edu%7Cc4c7b4fbe96a4d4c1f6908dc99f913b3%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C0%7C638554542284808289%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7kRWDF8hUthvIjw%2F2gtTU6NiiTFlkFvD87MLZoyM3TE%3D&reserved=0) before making their decisions. Canada’s post-graduation work permit (PGWP) has specific restrictions around the length of a program that must be completed in Canada. Students who transfer to the Vancouver campus with remaining length of their degree program of less than eight months are not eligible for the PGWP. 
  * Students graduating from Canadian campuses must complete a capstone course prior to graduation. 
  * Vancouver students considering transfer to a U.S. campus should review [immigration/visa information](https://international.northeastern.edu/ogs/new-students/) and [co-op/internship policies](https://international.northeastern.edu/ogs/employment/off-campus-employment/) before making their decision.

### MSCS Computer Science—Align Online Student Intercampus Transfer Policy
Students enrolled in the [MSCS Computer Science—Align](/graduate/computer-
information-science/computer-science/computer-science-mscs-align/) program
(with catalog term fall 2023 onward) _for fully online course delivery_ are
eligible to transfer to an on-ground campus of their choosing at specific
points in their program:
  * [MSCS Computer Science—Align](/graduate/computer-information-science/computer-science/computer-science-mscs-align/) online students in good standing can transfer to an on-ground campus after they successfully complete the Align Bridge coursework: Intensive Foundations of Computer Science ([CS 5001](/search/?P=CS%205001 "CS 5001")), Discrete Structures ([CS 5002](/search/?P=CS%205002 "CS 5002")), Object-Oriented Design ([CS 5004](/search/?P=CS%205004 "CS 5004")), and Data Structures, Algorithms, and Their Applications within Computer Systems ([CS 5008](/search/?P=CS%205008 "CS 5008")).  A student who instead seeks to transfer after successful completion of two semesters of degree coursework should contact their advisor to explore general transfer eligibility requirements.
[MSCS Computer Science—Align](/graduate/computer-information-science/computer-
science/computer-science-mscs-align/) online students must be in good academic
standing (minimum 3.000 overall GPA) and meet with their academic advisor to
begin the transfer process.
