Transfer of Graduate Credit
A maximum of 15 graduate credits may be transferred into a Stevenson University Master’s degree from a previously attended, regionally accredited institution. A maximum of 6 credits may be transferred into a Stevenson University post-baccalaureate certificate program from a previously attended, regionally accredited institution.
Applicants to the Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology program who were previously enrolled in, but did not complete, an APA-accredited doctoral program in a health service psychology field may be eligible for credit transfer; any such requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. No other graduate coursework will be accepted for transfer credit in the Doctor of Psychology program.
An official transcript from each institution where the credits were earned must be submitted. Coursework completed outside of the United States must be evaluated by an organization that is a current member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) and an official NACES member transcript must be submitted. Only courses/credits completed with a grade of “B” or better at other regionally accredited institutions are generally transferrable into Stevenson University graduate and certificate programs. Courses that do not transfer include personal development or orientation courses and credit given for portfolio work. Transfer credit is awarded at the discretion and with the approval of the appropriate Academic Program Administrator and School Dean. All transferrable courses must be sufficiently equivalent to courses offered at Stevenson University.
Upon matriculation, graduate students may not take courses elsewhere and transfer them into Stevenson University graduate programs.
Regardless of the number of transfer credits accepted, students must still complete the academic program requirements as shown in the Stevenson University Graduate Catalog and on the student's degree audit.
Transfer applicants should have left the sending institution in good standing. Grades and grade point averages earned at another institution do not transfer. The transferred credits apply toward graduation, but the grade points are not used in calculating the academic average required for graduation. Students seeking information on the transferability of credits may contact the relevant Academic Program Administrator.
