Transfer Credit Policy

Graduate courses taken prior to matriculation are considered “Transfer of Credit.”

Students may request transfer credit for relevant graduate courses taken at regionally accredited institutions, including courses taken at Hunter College while matriculated in another degree program, whether or not the master’s degree was awarded.

A form for such a transfer may be downloaded here. 

The following limitations apply:

  • No more than a total of 12 credits will be allowed for graduate courses completed at other colleges for courses taken on permit or for Hunter College courses taken prior to matriculation.

  • Courses for which transfer and approval of credit are sought must have been completed within five years preceding the anticipated date of graduation.

  • Application for transfer and approval of course credits taken prior to matriculation may be made after registering for the first semester of matriculation.

  • Transfer of credit can only be granted for courses with grades of B or better.
