A student who has completed relevant graduate level studies prior to enrollment at MHGS may request consideration from the Registrar for the transfer of credit within two terms after admission into a degree program. MHGS will consider appropriate transfer credit from fully-accredited, graduate level institutions.

For credit to be granted the previous work must parallel course content (80 percent or higher equivalence), as judged by comparison of typical course syllabi. The official transcript must indicate a grade of "B" (3.0) or higher. Language courses can be transferred with a grade of B- or higher. Course work must have been completed within five years of the application for transfer credit. An application is not complete unless official transcript unopened by the student is provided to the Academic Office.  The Registrar makes a final decision with input from the appropriate faculty as needed.

A student enrolled in any of the degree programs may transfer in a maximum of 15 term credits hours counting towards the required credits for graduation.

An active student who desires to take courses applicable to their degree program at another institution must have the approval of the Registrar prior to enrolling for such courses. The same transfer credit requirements apply to active students.

The total number of transfer credits approved is entered on the MHGS transcript but are not considered in the grade point average computation.
