Transfer Credit
Students may request that previously earned graduate credits (whether earned at The College of Saint Rose or at another accredited institution) be applied to up to one-third of their degree programs. Individual departments may limit credit requests by advisement; students should consult the program descriptions found in this catalog for specific details. Specific courses must be approved for transfer by advisors, department chairs and the appropriate school deans. Transfer credit is allowed only for courses in which students have received a grade “B” or better and, for courses which have been taken prior to matriculation, within the six-year time limit allowed for completion of the master’s degree. Students may not transfer courses after matriculation at Saint Rose without obtaining prior permission from their advisors, department chairs and the appropriate school deans.
The following forms must be on file in the Registrar’s office before any transfer credit will be awarded:
- Request for Transfer Credit
This form must be filed and approved for courses taken elsewhere prior to matriculation at Saint Rose. Course description(s) or course syllabi must accompany this form.
- Permission to Take a Course at Another Institution
This form must be filed and approved prior to taking courses elsewhere for students who are already matriculated at Saint Rose.
