Procedure for Requesting Transfer Credit

Requests for transfer credit should be directed in writing to the Ph.D. program.

1. Complete a Credit Transfer Request Form. Please only list courses that your past program will endorse for use in a graduate program of study. Do not submit undergraduate courses for consideration even if your prior university allowed them to be used to meet degree requirements.
2. Provide official course descriptions for each course submitted for transfer.
3. Provide official transcripts.

Official transcripts (for all courses to be transferred from other institutions) must be on file in the Ph.D. in Global Leadership offices before transfer credits will be considered.
