Winthrop may credit toward a master’s or specialist degree nine semester hours of graduate work from another accredited graduate institution upon
recommendation of the appropriate adviser and academic dean. (An additional three semester hours may be transferred, at the discretion of the adviser and
academic dean.)
Transfer of credit must be approved in writing by the student’s adviser and academic dean for inclusion in the student’s official
program of study; the equivalent Winthrop course level is verified in the Office of Records and Registration. After a student has entered a graduate
program at Winthrop, permission from the adviser and academic dean is required prior to the student’s enrolling in transfer course(s).
Approval to
Transfer Credit forms are available in the Office of Records and Registration. Official copies of transcripts must be submitted and evaluated before any
transfer credit will be officially accepted. Certain courses submitted for transfer may not be considered equivalent to specified Winthrop program
requirements even though course titles are the same.
A graduate student may not transfer credit earned at another institution while he or she is on academic probation at Winthrop or is academically ineligible to
return to Winthrop.
Credits earned at other institutions may be transferred if a grade of B or better have been earned, or a grade of S is earned, the
granting institution is accredited and would allow the course to be used in one of its graduate degrees. Transfer credits are not used in computing the
student’s cumulative grade-point average.
Transfer credits will not appear on a Winthrop University transcript until the graduate student has achieved
Graduate Degree (G) status in a specific degree program, and until they appear on an approved program of studies leading toward that degree. Extension
courses offered by accredited graduate institutions are subject to the approval of the student’s adviser and academic dean. Correspondence courses are not
acceptable for graduate credit. Transfer credit is subject to all Bulletin regulations pertaining to graduate degree courses.
It is the student’s responsibility to have an official transcript of the transfer credits forwarded to the Office of Records and Registration, Winthrop
University, Rock Hill, SC 29733, no later than four days prior to the expected graduation date. Students who enroll in transfer courses during the
final semester of a degree program risk delay in completion of degree requirements (and, where applicable, in approval for teacher certification) if
receipt of official transcripts by the Office of Records and Registration at Winthrop is delayed. Transcripts of all college work taken when a student
is absent from Winthrop must be submitted when the student reapplies to Winthrop.
