Transferring Graduate Credit

Transferring Graduate Credit from another University

Students transferring credit hours from a regionally accredited university must submit official transcripts from each university attended to the Office of Evening and Graduate Admissions along with the application for admission. All hours accepted in transfer must be from regionally accredited colleges and universities. In order to count towards graduation, all graduate credit hours must be 50000 level or above and must be in the same subject area. If courses have the same title, contain similar or like content and have a grade of B or above, they may transfer in as equivalents of Lindenwood course credit. Grades of C or below will not transfer into any graduate program. A maximum of nine credit hours of graduate credit will transfer to a graduate program. All transfer credit is subject to approval by the dean.

Transferring to/from Graduate Programs Between Schools at Lindenwood University

Some students may decide to transfer into another program within Lindenwood University to earn their graduate degree. When this occurs, students may be able to transfer nine credit hours from their first graduate degree program toward their new graduate degree program. Approval of transfer credit is at the discretion of the program dean of the receiving program. The same nine credit hour rule applies to graduate credit transferred in from another program within Lindenwood University.
