Graduate Credit Transfer Policy
The policy applies to all graduate programs at Indiana Wesleyan University.
Transfer of credit will be considered for graduate work taken only at regionally-accredited institutions, provided the courses meet institutional requirements and are appropriate for the student's planned and approved program. Any culminating project (e.g., capstone, research, thesis, etc.), clinical, or practicum requirement associated with a graduate program must be taken at Indiana Wesleyan University.
Individual academic units may establish higher standards/conditions as is appropriate for their respective disciplines or accrediting bodies. A minimum grade of "C" may be considered for transfer. No more than 30% of the graduate degree may be transferred in from another institution. The learning outcomes must align and have been completed within the past seven years. Minimal conditions governing the transfer of earned graduate credits to other course work include:
- Each PAU shall determine the amount of time acceptable of completed work that is eligible for credit transfer.
- Only graduate courses in which a student has earned a grade of "C" or better may be considered for transfer credit.
- Hours of credit may be transferred, but grades earned in courses taken at another institution do not transfer and are not used in computing the student's graduate GPA at Indiana Wesleyan University.
- When a graduate course is taken at another university on a credit/no credit or pass/fail option, hours of "credit" or "pass" are not accepted as transferable unless approved by the appropriate academic unit.
- For graduate certificate programs, no more than 30% can be transferred into the certificate program.
