Transfer Credit

A student may transfer a maximum of 9 credit hours of graduate course work completed at another institution. Credit will be accepted for course work that forms a related part of the student's total SUNY Fredonia graduate program. Students are advised to secure prior approval before registering for credit courses at other colleges or universities; credit may also be awarded for course work completed without prior approval.

The request for transfer credit approval form is available at the following link: http://www.fredonia.edu/gradstudies/current/progress.asp#Forms. The form must include the course catalog number and title, and be accompanied by a description of each course proposed for transfer credit. Credit toward the degree will be given only for courses in which the student earns grades of A or B. Transfer credit will not be included in the computation of the graduate student's average. Courses transferred into a degree program cannot be more than five years old by the time the degree requirements are completed, unless an extension has been granted by the Associate Provost for Graduate Studies and Research.
