Request for Transfer Credit
A maximum of nine (9) semester hours of graduate credit earned at a regionally accredited or state approved college
or university will be accepted for transfer to a student's graduate program at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania,
with the following exceptions:
The MA Counseling degree program may accept a maximum of twelve (12) credit hours; and the Master of Fine
Arts degree program may transfer a maximum of fifteen (15) semester hours.
The Dean of Graduate Studies must authorize transfer credits. Transfer credit is, as a general rule, only authorized if
the course is not offered by Edinboro University. If the institution granting the graduate credit has placed limitations
on the use of this credit, these same limitations will be placed on transfer credit requests.
Transfer credit will only be authorized if (1) a grade of "B" or better has been earned, (2) the credits were completed
within a five-year time period from the date of the semester or session in which the student earned the first accepted
credits of the master’s degree program, (3) the approval procedures have been followed and (4) the School of
Graduate Studies is provided with an official transcript for the completed credit.
The Dean of Graduate Studies may deny a student permission to transfer credit when the course is judged to be
outdated or inappropriate, or if the proper procedure has not been followed.
