Coursework taken prior to formal admission to a WWU master’s degree program, whether at
Western or another institution, can be considered for transfer credit if the criteria
listed below are met.
Credit taken at another institution, concurrent with graduate status in a WWU master’s
degree program, can also be considered for transfer credit if the criteria listed
below are met. (Such coursework should be approved in advance of registration to
prevent any misunderstanding or false expectations.)
The criteria are:
-
A limit of nine quarter (six semester) credits;
-
Graded with a B, 3.0, or better;
-
Taken no more than three years prior to the student’s quarter of admission;
-
And meet all other stated program and Graduate School requirements.
The Transfer Credit Request is submitted by the graduate program adviser and student
for approval by the Graduate School.
Only certain continuing education courses from WWU can be applied toward a WWU master’s
degree. Such courses must meet the requirements and conditions expected of regular,
approved graduate courses offered by the University. Approval of the courses must be
obtained from the program adviser and the Graduate School (properly signed off on the
student’s Plan of Study).
No credit is given for correspondence courses. No credit is allowed by challenge
examination or performance.
If you have questions, contact your graduate program adviser
or the Graduate School.
