Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Policy
			 statement
Graduate courses completed at other
				appropriately accredited academic institutions or at an academic institution
				with high academic standards, to also include military schools (e.g.: United
				States army war college, United States naval war college, marine corps war
				college, the air war college) deemed appropriate and acceptable by the academic
				department, academic college, and the college of graduate studies may be
				offered in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduate degrees at the
				university of Toledo ("UT") subject to the limits and approvals established in
				this policy.
(B)
								Purpose of policy
This policy defines conditions that
				must be met in order to transfer credit towards a university of Toledo graduate
				degree.
(C)
								Scope
This policy applies to all graduate
				students. Academic colleges and/or programs and departments may have more
				restrictive policies with regard to the number of transferable credits or
				eligibility of specific courses. Transfer credit will only be considered by the
				college of graduate studies if it has been reviewed and approved through the
				required channels of the student's academic department and
				college.
(D)
								Procedure
The following conditions must be met in
				order to transfer credit towards a university of Toledo graduate
				degree:
(1)
									All graduate credits requested for transfer must carry
			 a grade of A, A-, B+ or B. Credit for an S grade may be transferred only if the
			 grading institution verifies that the S translates into a grade of B or higher.
			 Research hours earned at another university are not transferable towards
			 research hours for a project, thesis, or dissertation. Courses taken for
			 professional development cannot be transferred for graduate
			 credit.
(2)
									The student must have been admitted and enrolled as a
			 graduate student at the institution where the graduate credit was
			 completed.
(3)
									Courses requested for transfer from a non-United States
			 institution will be evaluated on an individual basis. To be considered, the
			 credits to be transferred must have been earned in a program judged by the
			 university graduate program to be comparable to a graduate degree program of a
			 regionally accredited institution in the U.S. and appropriate documentation
			 must accompany the request.
(4)
									The credit
			 requested for transfer must not have been applied in whole or in part toward
			 any other degree or certificate from another university. Requests for transfer
			 of credits, applied in whole or in part toward a graduate certificate from
			 another university, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The final
			 determination will be made by the graduate dean.
(5)
									The student is
			 actively pursuing a graduate degree program at UT.
(6)
									Provisionally
			 admitted students must meet the terms of their admission to achieve regular
			 admission status before requesting transfer of credit. By definition, transfer
			 of credit is not appropriate for graduate, non-degree students as they have no
			 graduate degree program toward which credit can be transferred. If a graduate
			 non-degree student becomes regularly admitted to a graduate degree program,
			 transfer of credit can then be requested. (Graduate courses completed at UT in
			 non-degree status and later applied toward degree requirements are not
			 considered as transfer credit from outside the university.)
(7)
									The amount of
			 credit transferred does not exceed one-third of the hours required for the
			 graduate degree. Requests for exceptions to this requirement will only be
			 considered with supporting documentation and would only be approved in unusual
			 circumstances.
(8)
									Credit applied towards the master's degree and
			 education specialist degree must have been earned within the period of six
			 years immediately preceding the time the degree is awarded. Credit applied for
			 the doctoral degree must have been earned within seven years immediately
			 preceding the time the degree is awarded (combined M.D./Ph.D. program limit is
			 ten years). Credit applied towards a graduate certificate must have been
			 completed within the four years immediately preceding the time the certificate
			 is awarded. Transfer credit is reviewed again at the time of graduation to
			 ensure the course work falls within the time to degree limits. If the
			 previously approved transfer credit is beyond the time limitation for the
			 degree, it can no longer be used to fulfill degree requirements. Transfer
			 credits are not eligible for recertification.
